Total Time: 50 mins Preparation Time: 30 mins Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 25
• 1 1/2 lbs medium mushrooms
• 8 ounces bulk sausage (try hot!)
• 1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon rubbed sage
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 3 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
• 2 scallions, finely slices
• 6 ounces mozzarella cheese (prepackaged, burger-size slices)

Recipe

• 2 heat a large skillet over medium high heat.
• 3 add the sausage, season salt, pepper, sage, and garlic; cook until nicely browned, about 7 minutes, total.
• 4 while sausage is cooking, wash the mushrooms and leave slightly damp.
• 5 remove the stems, dice them and add them to the sausage for the final 2 minutes cooking time.
• 6 remove from heat, place in a large bowl, draining the excess fat if there is any, it depends on the sausage you choose.
• 7 add the cream cheese and scallions and mix well.
• 8 brush the mushroom caps on the outside with olive oil, this will keep them moist during cooking and they'll turn a lovely golden brown.
• 9 fill the mushroom caps to heaping with the sausage mixture, 1 1/2 2 teaspoons filling should do it, and place on a baking sheet.
• 10 cut the mozzarella slices into small pieces and place over each mushroom.
• 11 bake t 350 degrees for about 20 minutes or until lightly browned.
