This week it seems is all about bite sized snacks. I mean when you’re planning a party, like for New Year’s, how can you go wrong with bite sized deliciousness? These stuffed mushrooms are like a tasty package. They’re full of cheesy sausage and they go fast. The great thing is that they’re a make ahead appetizer! You can put everything together a day or two ahead of time and pop them in the oven just before your guests get there. They’re best warm straight out of the oven but Christmas we were snacking on these all day long and they were still good later in the day.
These were so simple to make. The filling is as easy as cooking the sausage and mixing in the rest of the ingredients. They are such a show stopping appetizer that is one of the simplest to make. They’re perfect for New Year’s or your next party.

I’m not really found of cream cheese in dishes like this. Is there a substitute for cream cheese for this recipe?

These are really good the next day, cold from the fridge… I’m not much for reheating things so anything that tastes good cold too is a win for me!

I never thought to try but I’m on board with no reheating! 🙂
