Stuffing Stuffed Mushrooms

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.

More holiday appetizers:

• Bacon wrapped water chestnuts
• Honey and cinnamon whipped goat cheese with fig jam
• Pimento cheese ball
• Chipped beef cheese ball
