Servings: 30 mushrooms
Calories: 67kcal
Ingredients
- 32 ounces baby portobello mushrooms
- 1 pound bulk pork sausage
- 1 poblano pepper seeded and finely diced
- 4 ounces cream cheese cubed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and get a rimmed baking sheet out.
- Prepare the mushrooms: Remove the mushroom stems by gently twisting at the base of each mushroom. Use a damp paper towel to wipe any dirt or debris from the top and underside of the mushroom. Set mushrooms aside.32 ounces baby portobello mushrooms
- Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the sausage and Poblano peppers. Cook, breaking into small pieces and cook for 6-8 minutes, until the pork is no longer pink.1 pound bulk pork sausage, 1 poblano pepper
- Reduce heat to medium low. Add cubed cream cheese and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally. The cream cheese will melt into the sausage mixture. Stir to combine completely. Remove from heat.4 ounces cream cheese
- Use a small spoon to fill the cavity of the mushroom with the sausage mixture and press it down gently. Add more sausage mixture to the top.
- Add stuffed mushrooms to the baking sheet without overcrowding (use more than one pan if necessary or cook in two batches). Cook in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until mushrooms are cooked (they will darken) and sausage mixture is lightly browned. Remove and allow to sit for several minutes before serving.
Notes
The mushrooms will give off some liquid - that’s just part of mushrooms. You can use a paper towel to absorb any of the liquid from the sheet pan, or use a small spatula to remove them from the baking tray to a platter.
To clean the mushrooms: Avoid washing them, as mushrooms can absorb water and become soggy.
