How to Make Stuffed Mushrooms The Best I Ve Ever Had

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch glass casserole dish.
  3. Arrange approximately 1 pound of large mushroom caps, hollow-side up, in the prepared dish.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine: 1 (6 ounce) can minced clams, drained (reserve 2 tablespoons of clam juice), 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup finely chopped onion, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup finely diced bell pepper (any color), 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Stir in 3 tablespoons melted butter and 1 tablespoon of the reserved clam juice until the mixture is moist and holds its shape. Add more clam juice if needed.
  6. Generously fill each mushroom cap with the clam mixture. Sprinkle the tops with 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese.
  7. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of melted butter evenly over the stuffed mushrooms.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the cheese is golden brown and bubbly.
