Stuffed Mushrooms

Dad-gum, there’s nothing better than a mushroom cap filled with stuffing. Nom. Nom. Nom.

Translation: I think they’re yummy in my tummy.

There are several ways to stuff mushroom caps. If you’re feeding a crowd, be mindful of special dietary needs such as allergy sufferers and vegetarians. *Remember, I’m in the group of allergy sufferers too!* In this post, I’ve included two options for stuffed S’rooms: one with just vegetables and another for the meat-lovers in the crowd. Whichever you choose, you’ll need to create a “cup” in each mushroom to hold the stuffing.

S’Rooms for the Veggie Lovers
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 yellow bell pepper, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 Tbsp minced garlic
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 cup shredded cheese
1/2 cup bread crumbs
4 Tbsp butter

In a large pan over medium heat, combine 1 Tablespoon of butter, garlic, peppers and onion. Saute for 5-10 minutes.

In a separate bowl, add cream cheese, salt, pepper, and bread crumbs. When vegetables are done, pour mixture into bowl. Stir to combine.

Spoon this mixture into each mushroom cap and arrange in an oven-safe baking dish.

Sprinkle grated cheese and breadcrumbs on top, then drizzle with remaining melted butter.

Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes. Serve immediately.

If you’re feeding a bunch of hungry carnivores, substitute the vegetables with a pound of sausage or ground beef.

Enjoy!

*WINNER ANNOUNCED* Welcome to Three 31 ( + giveaway!!!! )

I have had very good intentions of making the first blog post here next week (January 1, 2012), but I couldn’t wait a moment longer. I’m so thankful to everyone who has already subscribed to this new blog and to show my appreciation, I’m posting a few days early.

I also have an incentive for you.

I’m nice like that.

The first gift pays homage to my homestate, the Bluegrass State, Kentucky. This particular cookbook has not been released, but Yours Truly pre-ordered her copy (and one extra) months ago in anticipation of giving it to a lucky blog reader. (You’re welcome!) Kentucky Monthly magazine is awesome, it makes my skirt fly up. If I wore skirts. But I don’t.

I digress.

Nothing says Texas like a juicy steak. (Yum!) Living in Texas, there’s a steakhouse located on nearly every street corner. In other states, I’m not so sure. Which is why I’m giving the winner their choice in gift card. Maybe you have a preference, maybe you don’t. For restaurant locations, visit Longhorn and Texas-Roadhouse.

To enter, simply answer the following question in a comment:

How do you like your steak?

Maybe you like it Texas-rare or so well-done it could suffice as shoe leather. Or, topped with creamy bleu cheese. Or sauteed mushrooms. Or naked. Whatever makes you say, “Mmmm” add a comment and you’re done!

  • Giveaway ends Saturday, January 7 at 9:00 pm.
  • To be extra nice and awesome, you should subscribe to this blog and receive email updates.
  • Winner must provide a valid U.S. mailing address to receive their gifts.

I’m hungry now.
