Appetizers > Mushrooms > New Years Eve > Stuffed Mushrooms >
1/2 LB Italian sausage or lean hamburger
24 large mushrooms, cleaned (reserve stems & insides of mushrooms)
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. black pepper
2 cloves garlic, peeled & finely minced
2 TBS Romano cheese, grated
1 TBS olive oil
1/2 C tomato sauce
Nonstick cooking spray
Cut the stems off the mushrooms. Scoop out the flesh from the mushrooms carefully using a grapefruit spoon; place mushroom flesh in a bowl. Set hollowed mushroom caps aside. Chop stems and add to mushroom flesh mixture. In a skillet, cook the sausage in olive oil; add mushroom mixture (flesh and chopped stems), garlic, salt, black pepper and onions. Cook for five to ten minutes, stirring occasionally. Drain. Re-fill mushroom caps with sausage mixture; sprinkle tops with Romano cheese. Coat a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray; layer the filled mushrooms evenly on the bottom (assemble more than one layer if necessary). Spoon tomato sauce over the top; add more Romano cheese. Bake at 350-degrees F for about twenty minutes, or until heated through.
If preferred, heat through in a skillet (as pictured above).
