This recipe was shared by a good friend, who's family regularly makes this mouth-watering appetizer for Sunday Football games. Very easy to make, no meat needed, and the cayenne pepper makes it pop! This recipe can easily be halved, for smaller gatherings.

Ingredients

  • 24 - whole fresh mushrooms
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 2 - 8 ounces pkgs cream cheese; softened
  • 4-6 - stalks green onion; finely chopped

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper

How To Make no meat but all heat stuffed mushrooms

  • Step 1
    Preheat Oven to 350 Degrees. Spray baking sheet w/ cooking spray. Using a damp paper towel, gently clean mushrooms off, then carefully break off stems. Finely chop the stems up.
  • Step 2
    Heat oil in skillet. Add garlic & mushroom stems. Saute until moisture is nearly gone being careful not to burn. Set aside and cool.
  • Step 3
    Once mixture cools somewhat, add finely chopped green onions, the cream cheese, parm cheese, pepper, onion powder & cayenne to the mixture and mix by hand until ingredients and cream cheese are comletely incorporated. Mixture should be somewhat thick.
  • Step 4
    Using a teaspoon, stuff each mushroom cap with mixture & place on cookie sheet for baking. Bake for 20 minutes or until liquid forms under the mushroom caps. Serve warm! OR another option: once caps are stuffed, cover and refrigerate to bake the following day. *Note, the last few times I've made these, I've placed my mushrooms on a metal cookie cooling rack inside the cookie sheet, letting the mushroom juices flow beneath the mushrooms while they are baking. Can be done either way! Enjoy and Happy Cooking!
