I love to make these sausage stuffed mushrooms as an appetizer for parties, and they are always a HUGE hit. That being said, there’s no reason to wait for a special occasion because these sausage stuffed mushrooms are so easy to make, there are only 4 simple ingredients! Tender mushrooms, savory sausage, spinach, and cream cheese come together to create a flavor-packed bite!
Often times, I prep these in advance, and then pop them in the oven (or air fryer) before serving. I prefer to use Baby Bella mushrooms, as I find them more “hearty”, but white mushrooms work just as well. Prep is quick – just 15 minutes. Start by separating the mushroom caps from the stems. Reserve 1 cup of the mushroom stems, chop, and set aside.
Next, brown the sausage until cooked through and drain off the grease. Place the warm sausage into a large mixing bowl with the cream cheese.
Sauté the chopped mushroom stems in the pan. Once soft, add chopped spinach and saute for another 1-2 minutes. Add the mushrooms and spinach into the bowl with the sausage and cream cheese. Mix well to combine all the ingredients evenly.
Stuff the mushroom caps GENEROUSLY with sausage mixture. There shouldn’t be any mixture left over. Place the mushrooms on a wire cooling rack over a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Move the baking sheet to the top rack and broil on high for 1-2 minutes until the the mushrooms are bubbly and golden brown. Now enjoy!

December 25, 2019 at 1:42 amA question. I would like to serve these as an appetizer for Christmas tomorrow. I will not be able to put them in the oven to cook early when my company arrives because my rib roast will be cooking not leaving enough room or the right temperature. Is it possible to cook these tonight and reheat in the microwave tomorrow and still have them taste good/right? If they won’t taste okay, I’d rather not serve them…what do you think?

January 13, 2020 at 10:45 pmI am not sure about reheating them after they are cooked. That can make the mushrooms a rubbery texture. You can serve them at room temperature though!
