These are a HUGE hit in my house. On Christmas Eve my family does a buffet style of finger foods instead of a big sit-down meal. Here are the mushroom caps super yummy and warm "pickins" as Grandma calls them.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

There are so many flavors in these restaurant-quality stuffed mushrooms. The combination of stuffing, cream cheese, and crab meat is delicious. The cream cheese adds creaminess to the filling. Drizzling the mushrooms with garlic butter brings them to a whole new level. Place these on the table and watch 'em disappear. Your guests will be impressed! If there is leftover stuffing from dinner, this recipe is a great way to use that.
