Mozzarella Stuffed Mushrooms Recipe

Preheat oven to 350 F.

Clean the mushrooms with a mushroom brush or a wet paper towel. Remove stems, chop them, and reserve. Brush the mushroom caps with butter (save remaining butter). Set aside.

In a heavy skillet, saute crumbled sausage, chopped mushroom stems, and sweet onion over medium heat until sausage is cooked through and onion is translucent. Let cool slightly.

In a bowl, combine mozzarella, oregano, basil, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and bread crumbs. Add cooked sausage mixture and remaining butter. Toss to combine. Spoon into buttered mushroom caps, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, and place in a baking dish with sides.

Bake for 15 minutes, until hot and bubbly.
