Because it’s 2020 we’re not going to be having any holiday parties this year like we do most years, but I just might make these Italian Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms anyway…because they’re just THAT good!!
Stuffed mushrooms are one of my favourite appetizers to make during the holiday season because they’re low-carb! And if you’ve ever tried to watch your carbs during a season of sweet treats, dips, pastries, cookies and crackers you’ll know just how great it is when you come across a delicious appetizer that’s as low-carb as it is delicious!
How to Make Stuffed Mushrooms
Making stuffed mushrooms couldn’t be easier!
- Wash and dry your mushrooms, removing the stems.
- Combine all the filling ingredients – the cooked Italian sausage, cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, garlic, onion powder, salt and chopped chives – in a bowl mixing everything together until the mixture is creamy and smooth.
- Divide the filling evenly between the mushrooms, stuffing them full.
- Top with some shredded cheese and bake to golden brown perfection!
- Enjoy hot from the oven.

Italian Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms
Ingredients
- 21 large white mushrooms washed, dried, and stems removed
- 1/2 pound Italian sausage cooked and drained
