These were a hit with everyone in my family, even those that came not to like mushrooms! I love stuffed mushrooms but most recipes have so many steps that I rarely make them because it just adds to time in the kitchen for an appetizer. These went together very quickly and tasted great to boot.

These mushrooms were easy and delicious. I even forgot to put in the garlic. I think they would even taste better. I will make them again and again.

These are a favorite in our group of friends. I have made them twice in the past week for different parties! I have a feeling they will be a permanent staple at all our events...easy and delicious. Time saver too because you can assemble early in the day, then just cook them before serving!

I love stuffed mushrooms and this recipe had such an elegant twist. I served these with a risotto verde and herbed scones. They we deliciously meaty and everyone loved them!
