Mushrooms: you either love them or you hate them. Rarely have I met a person who is ambivalent about mushrooms. Fortunately, Keith and I share an undying love for these precious little fungi; we eat every variety, every which way. Keith's recipe for stuffed mushrooms is simple but oh so delicious. It relies on the unmistakable flavor of button mushrooms, stuffed and overflowing with cheese, breadcrumbs, and a hint of red pepper. It is impossible to eat just one.
Keith made these tasty morsels for us to eat on a chilly fall afternoon while watching football. They are the perfect game day snack, and they look almost too pretty to eat. Almost. We love them with a frosty glass of KBC IPA.
We recommend these stuffed mushrooms for tailgating parties or as a great looking appetizer at your next dinner party. How can you not love a fungi?

I don't eat stuffed mushrooms as much as I would like because, chances are, whoever I am eating with is not a fan of them. So, stuffed mushrooms, are a treat for me. These look delicious and I can eat them all!

When do you add the chopped garlic?
Keith says
First, thank you for trying the recipe. The garlic is added when you melt the butter. It is corrected in the recipe.
Thanks for catching that.
