Stuffing Stuffed Mushrooms are a delicious appetizer perfect for the holidays. Use up that left over stuffing for these tasty mushrooms.

Stuffing stuffed mushrooms are a great way to use up some left over stuffing and make the perfect appetizer for a holiday gathering. Stuffing is one of my favorite dishes of a holiday feast. But no matter how much I eat, there still always seems to be leftovers.

This is how these stuffed mushrooms came to about. The day after Thanksgiving I try to find new ways to use what we have left in the fridge. I spooned the stuffing into some mushrooms we had and topped with a little cheese, because cheese makes everything better. A little drizzle of EVOO and voila!

Tips for making stuffing:

Butter. Cook celery and onion in butter to soften before adding to stuffing.
For these mushrooms, keep it simple. Just use your tried and true stuffing recipe. No need for lots of extras. A little ground sausage would be good in this though. 🙂
For a little extra flavor add a teaspoon of poultry seasoning to the stuffing.
Don’t add so much liquid it becomes soggy. For this recipe I used Pepperidge Farm stuffing mix and followed their recommended amount of liquid.
