    Sausage stuffed portobello mushrooms recipe #mushrooms #sausage

    These sausage stuffed portobello mushrooms feature meaty portobello mushroom caps loaded with an enticing mixture of ground sausage, sage, and cream cheese.

    Portobello mushrooms are the tortilla chip of the fungi world. Perfect for loading with your favorite toppings and serving as a hearty entree. Although this recipe calls for portobellos, you can scale it down with smaller mushrooms for finger-food appetizers instead.

    These sausage stuffed portobello mushrooms are piled high with a creamy mixture of ground sausage, cream cheese, herbs, and breadcrumbs, then topped with grated Parmesan cheese which crisps while baking. I really feel fresh sage is the star of this dish though because it pairs so nicely with both sausage and mushrooms.

    Cream cheese adds a satisfying creaminess to the filling, while the breadcrumbs and egg yolk are added for structural stability. You can omit the breadcrumbs to make this dish more low carb friendly, but the filling will ooze over if piled too high.

    When crafting a portobello mushroom recipe it is often difficult to nail down the exact recipe yield because portobello caps vary in size so greatly at the grocery store. This recipe fills 6-8 large mushroom caps. You also have some flexibility in how high you pile the filling as well.

    How to Cook Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms

    Since you are working with raw ground sausage, it is important to cook the sausage in a skillet prior to topping the mushrooms with filling. Otherwise, it won't cook through properly in the oven. This also allows you to saute chopped onion and mushroom stems for additional filling and texture.

    Once the filling has been prepared and loaded on the mushrooms the stuffed mushrooms can be baked at 400 degrees for 25 minutes.

    Best Sausage for Stuffing Portobello Mushrooms

    Italian sausage stuffed mushrooms is a popular dish, however, I go a different route by using bulk country sausage instead, such as Tennessee Pride (affiliate link), for example. The herbal mixture of the country sausage is nicely highlighted with the punch of fresh sage and parsley used in this recipe. However, this recipe will still turn out great if you wish to use your favorite Italian sausage instead.

    How to Customize Sausage Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms

    As with any stuffed mushroom recipe, you have a lot of flexibility in how you craft your filling. You can remove the cream cheese and breadcrumbs entirely for a lower calorie option, or sprinkle in some cheddar cheese for another layer of flavor. Additionally, your favorite herbs can be swapped in as well. Finally, feel free to use baby bella mushrooms for a finger food appetizer, however, the baking time should be reduced slightly due to ot the smaller size.

      Great recipe! Was only making 2 large portobellos so I cut the recipe in 1/2, used thyme instead of sage as I used Italian sausage and only used 2 oz of cream cheese but extra shredded parm inside and on top. Big hit with hubby! He said definitely make again.

      I would say the recipe is only enough for 6 mushrooms, not 8. I think next time I will only use one tablespoon of sage, because it is just a little strong. Also, I subbed sausage for a pound of lean turkey meat seasoned with Italian seasoning and salt, and it turned out fantastic and a little healthier.

        Side by side, both 93% and 85% lean ground beef have slightly more protein than turkey of the same fat percentages for about the same number of calories. Beef also has less total fat, but turkey contains less saturated fat than beef.

        The leanest available ground beef comprises 95% lean meat and 5% fat, while 99% fat-free turkey is available. Unsurprisingly, fat-free turkey has over 45 fewer calories and much less fat and saturated fat than 95% lean beef per serving.

        When it comes to micronutrients, all cuts of ground turkey and beef have comparable amounts of sodium. While they’re not high in sodium, they’re often seasoned with salt. Thus, they may provide more of it after cooking.

        Beef has more iron, zinc, and vitamin B12, which are nutrients that promote healthy blood, immunity, and nervous system health, than turkey. On the other hand, turkey contains higher amounts of some B vitamins needed for energy metabolism

      This recipe was fantastic. As I do with many recipes, I adapted based on what I have on hand. I needed to serve 8 mushroom caps for dinner, so I added a can of smoked black eyed peas to stretch the recipe. Deeeeeeeliscious!
