Heat oven to 350 degrees; position rack in the
center of oven. Place mushroom caps,
cups facing upward, on a large cookie sheet.
Spoon a heaping teaspoon of stuffing mixture
into each cap. Bake until mushrooms
are tender and filling is hot, 15 to 20 minutes.
Remove mushrooms, turn oven to
broil, and position rack about 4 inches from
broiler. Sprinkle mushrooms with remaining
grated cheese, and broil until cheese is
golden, about 1 minute. Serve immediately.
I made these for a christmas party. They were a hit. I thought they were a bit salty so I'll use less next time.
try this with boxed stuffing mix that is cooked first
