🍽 Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.

6. Stuff mixture into each mushroom cap and place on baking sheet.
7. Bake for 12 minutes, sprinkle with remaining cheese, and bake 3 more minutes until bubbly.

📝 Steve’s Notes

“I sauté the onions in butter first, then add the sausage. I also splash wine and butter into the pan before baking — adds depth and keeps mushrooms juicy.”
