Baked Stuffed Mushrooms

There’s something about stuffed mushrooms that makes them the perfect snack or appetizer. If it’s for a small gathering or a cozy dinner for two, they bring a delightful mix of flavors and textures. I remember the first time I made these stuffed mushrooms; I was testing out the recipe for a little weekend snack. It felt like such a win when I took that first bite—juicy mushrooms packed with a savory filling. It became one of my go-to small-batch recipes.

Equipment

Ingredients

  • 10 Mushrooms white and brown
  • 1/2 Cup Minced Beef
  • 1/4 Cup Diced Bacon
  • 1/4 Cup Fresh Celery 1 Stem diced
  • 1/2 Onion
  • 1 Garlic Clove

  • 1/4 Cup Heavy Cream
  • 1/2 Tablespoon Fresh Oregano
  • 1/2 Tablespoon Fresh Marjoram
  • 2 Tablespoons Cheese Grated
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Before you start, gather all your ingredients. Get the meat, prepare brown and white button mushrooms, and mince aromatics. 
  • In a small cooking pot cook the filling under medium heat, cook the ground beef with bacon, celery, onion, and garlic. Once the meat is browned, add tomato sauce, heavy cream, and herbs. Stir well and let it simmer for about 10 minutes
  • Allow the sauce to reduce slightly and thicken. The goal is to create a flavorful and creamy filling for the mushrooms.
  • While your sauce is cooking, gently remove the stems from your mushrooms. Save these stems and chop them finely to add back into the filling for extra flavor.
  • Once the filling is ready, spoon it into each mushroom cap. Don’t overfill, but make sure each mushroom is generously stuffed.
  • Place the stuffed mushrooms in a small casserole dish or on a baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) or until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is golden brown on top.

Notes

  • Pat dry the mushrooms using a paper towel to avoid becoming soggy.
  • Use mushrooms of the same size.
  • Reheat in the oven, as reheating in the microwave makes the dish soggy.
  • Don’t skip the step of letting the sauce simmer for a bit. This allows all the flavors to meld together.
  • If you want a crispy topping, sprinkle some bread crumbs on the cheese before baking.
