What better way to enjoy the flavors of sausage, peppers, and onions than mixed with cheese and stuffed into a mushroom? You won't miss eating a sausage sandwich with those big sub rolls after you try these Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms with Peppers, & Onions.
1lbItalian sausagecasings removed (pork or turkey work well)
½of a medium sweet pepperchopped
½of a medium onionchopped
1clovegarlicminced
¼cupbread crumbs of your choiceTrim Healthy Mama Baking Blend, or my Local Blend Baking Mix (equal parts almond flour, coconut flour, and golden flax meal)
4ozshredded mozzarella
1ozshredded cheddar
1egg
6large mushroomsmine were palm sized or 12 medium mushrooms
Clean the dirt off the mushrooms using a damp cloth. Remove stems from the mushrooms and discard, snack on while cooking, or use in another recipe.
Cook sausage, onion, pepper, and garlic until the sausage is browned and the veggies are softened. I use a potato masher to break up the sausage. Remove from the heat and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Add the baking mix or bread crumbs, most of the cheeses (set aside a little to sprinkle on top), the egg, and the salt and pepper. Mix well.
Spoon the sausage mixture into the mushrooms. Bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes until the cheese is bubbly, the filling is hot, and the mushrooms are softened. (If using smaller mushrooms reduce the cooking time).
You can prep this up to a day ahead. Keep the filled mushrooms in the refrigerator and bake before serving. They may take 5-10 minutes longer to cook.
