Recipe Tips
- Note
When buying the mushrooms, look for packages that have about 12 large mushrooms in each package. Reserve the 24 largest mushrooms for stuffing, then chop the smaller mushrooms to use for the filling. - Make Ahead
Stuff mushrooms with filling but do not top with the remaining cracker crumbs as directed. Refrigerate up to 6 hours. When ready to serve, top mushrooms with remaining cracker crumbs and bake as directed, increasing the baking time as needed until mushrooms are heated through. - Special Extra
Add a few dashes hot pepper sauce to cooked sausage mixture in skillet along with the cream cheese.
