Ingredients

For the Sausage Balls

1 pound ground sausage
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup biscuit mix
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

For the Mushrooms

24 large mushrooms, stems removed
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup cream cheese, softened

Mix ingredients thoroughly and prepare the mushrooms for stuffing.

Instructions

Prepare the Sausage Mixture

In a large bowl, combine the ground sausage, cheddar cheese, biscuit mix, green onions, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Prepare the Mushrooms

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth and remove the stems. Brush them with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Stuff the Mushrooms

Take a small amount of the sausage mixture and stuff each mushroom cap generously. Top each stuffed mushroom with a small dollop of cream cheese.

Bake the Mushrooms

Arrange the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the sausage is cooked through and the mushrooms are tender.

Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious stuffed mushrooms!

Storage Tips

If you have leftovers (though they are unlikely!), store the stuffed mushrooms in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes to regain their crispy texture. This way, you can enjoy the delightful flavors even after the party is over.

For longer storage, these stuffed mushrooms can be frozen before baking. Just prepare them as directed, then place them on a baking sheet to freeze individually. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag. When you're ready to enjoy them, bake straight from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.

Pairing Suggestions

These sausage balls stuffed mushrooms pair wonderfully with a variety of beverages. For a refreshing option, serve them with a light white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc or a crisp sparkling water. If you're looking for something heartier, a chilled beer complements the savory flavors beautifully.

For a complete appetizer spread, consider serving these stuffed mushrooms alongside a cheese platter, charcuterie board, or assorted dips. This variety will please different palates and create an inviting atmosphere for your guests.
