When recently making this, the kitchen filled with the delicious smell that I remember so fondly from childhood and I couldn’t help but smile!

To some people, the texture of mushrooms can be off-putting.  I know plenty of people that like the taste, but don’t appreciate the assumption that mushrooms are slimy.  Well, this recipe has been tested with one of those people and we can safely confirm that there is no odd texture!  The stuffed mushrooms with stuffing have just the right mixture of textures where, when combined, it makes the perfect bite.

We feel like people only think to use stuffing around Thanksgiving, but we love using stuffing year round to help create rich, comforting dishes, like this 5 ingredient slow cooker chicken and stuffing recipe.  Stuffing has such great flavor that it kicks any dish up a notch.

Depending on the size of your mushrooms, you may end up with a little extra leftover stuffing mixture.  You can simply enjoy it on the side or stuff those mushrooms extra full!

When we’re hosting parties, it’s always a nice touch to be thoughtful about the food.  You don’t want to serve something that’s going to be too hard for people eat, you want little bite size things.  So, for parties, these mushrooms are obviously on my list of “pop them in your mouth” approved apps.  A couple of my other favorites are:

• Sausage puff pastry appetizer
• Shrimp meatballs with garlic aioli
• White chocolate peanut grape bites

Once you’ve cooked these 5 ingredient stuffed mushrooms with stuffing, you will end up with a crispy, buttery- stuffed mushroom that you could easily eat 10 of, they make an amazing easy 5 ingredient appetizer or vegetable side dish!

Ingredients

• 16 oz baby Bella whole mushrooms or could do white mushrooms
• 1-2 stalks celery chopped finely to go into stuffing
• 6 oz boxed stuffing I used Stove Top brand, any brand will do
• 3/4 stick butter (6 tablespoons), divided (1/2 stick butter for stuffing and 1/4 for using in the mushrooms)
• 1/2-1 teaspoon garlic salt

Instructions

• Preheat over to 350
• Clean mushrooms - wash and remove stems. Save stems to chop up and add into stuffing mixture (optional)

• Set cleaned mushrooms in baking dish. Dab a dollop of butter in the bottom of each mushroom and sprinkle with garlic salt.
  
• Add stuffing mixture on top of butter and use a spoon to press about a tablespoon of stuffing into the mushroom cap.
  
• Bake for 20 minutes, or until stuffing begins to brown a little and mushrooms are starting to get tender. Remove from oven and serve.
