Please give them a try at your next get-together! Perfect for the Superbowl!
Ingredients:
- 20 button mushrooms ( approximately)
- 3/4 lb sausage meat, I use spicy
- 1 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
- 3 green onions
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
Directions:
- Remove the stems and "core" from your mushrooms. Take a sharp knife and kind of clean out the middle of the mushroom, so that you're left with a little mushroom cup.
- Place top side of the mushroom down on a cookie sheet - if they want to roll, just shave a bit off of the top to make it flat so that they won't roll around.
- Fry the sausage, until it is cooked through. Drain off the fat.
- Chop the green onions, using the green part too
- Mix the cream cheese, cooked sausage, chopped green onions and the soy sauce.
- Place this mixture where your mushroom stems once were and bake in a 350 degree oven for about 20-30 minutes.

I pinky swear - I eat a fairly healthy diet, contrary to the way it sounds on my blog! However, when I splurge, well - my motto is "Go Big (Mac), or Go Home" ! So here's an admission - sometimes I make the filling, and once it's heated through - I serve it over pasta.
However, I warn you, this results in an overnight 5 lb weight gain.

NOW, if you're looking for something a little healthier, there are easy ways to cut down on the fat and calories for this appetizer:
- fry the sausage and then drain it in a colander, under hot running water,
to remove as much fat as possible.
- use light cream cheese.
- chop up your mushroom stems and fry them - replace some of the sausage with the chopped mushroom.
