How To Make mushrooms, sausage & cheese stuffed, baked
-
Step 1I used a no meat sauce, but here is a link to two of my favorite pasta sauces with meat. These could be used as the garnish sauce. https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/main-course/main-course-pork/garden-fresh-pasta-sauce-with-italian-sausage.html https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/sauce-spread-other-sauce-spread/italian-sausage-pasta-sauce.html

Step 24 sausage links made about 1 3/4 c of cooked sausage. To that I added 1/4 c of pasta sauce. I used Pomodori Gourmet Sauce, but but any flavorful vegetarian pasta sauce would work. http://www.pomodorifoods.com/

Step 3Break sausage up and brown. I wanted really fine sausage so I placed it in my food processor and pulsed a few times.
-
Step 4Then put back in skillet and add sauce and mozzarella, stir till cheese mostly melts.
-
Step 5With the small end of a fork or spoon, scrap out the gills and hollow out the mushroom.
-
Step 6Place about 1 tbsp of stuffing inside, or fill to heaping top. Brush mushroom with olive oil. Bake at 400° for about 15-20 min.
-
Step 7Top with favorite grated Italian cheese, serve with more sauce and freshly chopped basil.
