Spicy FunGuy Mushroom Poppers Recipe

Some stuffed mushroom appetizer recipes can be a little, well, stuffy. They don’t have to be that way! Let’s spice up your next party way with this flavorful recipe for Spicy FunGuy Mushroom Poppers, a modern twist on stuffed mushrooms. These tasty treats will have your party guests begging for more.

DIRECTIONS:

1. Put the cream cheese package out on the counter to soften.
2. Cook the loose Italian sausage in a skillet over medium heat until cooked through. Place in a bowl to cool.
3. Brush each mushroom with a damp paper towel to remove any debris. Holding the mushroom firmly in your hand, pop out the stem carefully. You can use a small spoon to enlarge the hole, if necessary.
4. Heat your oven to 350° F and grease a 9” x 13” casserole dish with a little olive oil.
5. Once the sausage has cooled, combine sausage, cream cheese, jalapeños, and 1 cup of the Monterey Jack cheese.
6. Fill each mushroom with a heaping amount of the sausage + cream cheese filling. Place the mushrooms side by side in the casserole dish
7. Cook in the oven for 15 minutes. Remove the mushrooms from the oven and sprinkle the remaining Monterey Jack cheese over the top. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.

Let your Spicy FunGuy Mushroom Poppers cool for 5 minutes before serving. Transfer the poppers to a serving platter, sprinkle the finished mushrooms with minced chives and let the party begin!

Tip: The spice level can be adjusted by reducing the amount of jalapenos to the recipe. If heat is not your thing, substitute jalapeños with green chiles for a milder party treat.

You know FunGuy Mushrooms LOVE a party!
