How to Make Appetizer Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Gently remove stems from about 1 pound of large mushrooms (cremini or button work well). Roughly chop the stems and set aside.
3. In a large skillet, cook 1 pound Italian sausage (mild or spicy) over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off excess grease.
4. Add the chopped mushroom stems to the sausage and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
5. Stir in 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (or 1 teaspoon dried), and salt and pepper to taste.
6. Spoon the sausage mixture generously into the mushroom caps.
7. Arrange the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet.
8. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly browned, and the mushrooms are tender.
