Pin Stumble Tweet Share Turn your favorite sausage stuffed mushrooms appetizer into dinner with this easy casserole recipe. Do you have your favorite appetizers that you make pretty much any chance you get? I definitely have a few favorites, like Green Chili Chicken Enchilada Dip. The problem is that it doesn’t seems socially acceptable to just have Baked Goat Cheese dip for dinner. So what do you do? Well, I turned my favorite sausage stuffed mushrooms into a casserole that you can make any night of the week. So you get all the flavors of classic stuffed mushrooms in your dinner. Mushrooms are kind of my favorite thing ever. Sauteed mushrooms are great as just a side dish. But sometimes you want them mixed with something to make a complete meal. Enter this mushroom casserole. Knowing how to cook mushrooms is the first step to making this casserole. You brown and season the mushrooms before you mix everything together and bake until gooey and bubbly hot. I used spicy Italian sausage to make pretty much any stuffed mushroom recipe, so I used it here as well. But if you don’t like the heat, you can use your favorite sausage in its place. You could even use turkey or chicken sausage to lighten it up. Stuffed mushrooms are often stuffed with either sausage or crab. I am not a huge fan of crab, so I always go the sausage route. Then there is cheese and usually breadcrumbs as well. To get all the flavor and texture of the appetizer, here we have some mozzarella cheese mixed in with the mushrooms and sausage, and then some sprinkled over the top as well. And don’t forget the crunchy bread crumbs. There is a layer of breadcrumbs that gets all nice and toasty on the top as it bakes. So you get all the flavors and textures of stuffed mushrooms in every bite of this dinner. I actually made this when a couple of friends were over one day. I did not know that one didn’t like mushrooms. So I immediately felt horrible! 0 from 0 votes Print Sausage Stuffed Mushroom Casserole Prep Time 10 mins Cook Time 25 mins Total Time 35 mins Turn your favorite sausage stuffed mushrooms appetizer into dinner with this easy casserole recipe.
