Tips for the Best Stuffed Mushrooms

To ensure your Buffalo-Stuffed Mushrooms turn out perfectly, choose mushrooms that are firm and plump. This not only enhances the presentation but also ensures they hold up well during baking. If you prefer a crunchier texture, you can broil them for a couple of minutes at the end of baking.

Experimenting with different types of cheese can also elevate your dish. For instance, adding blue cheese crumbles can enhance the buffalo flavor and add a unique twist. Don't hesitate to get creative with your ingredients based on your taste preferences!

Ingredients

For the Stuffed Mushrooms

  • 12 large button mushrooms
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Make sure to wash and clean the mushrooms before stuffing them.

Instructions

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Prepare the Mushrooms

Remove the stems from the mushrooms and set the caps aside. Finely chop the stems and set aside for the filling.

Make the Filling

In a bowl, combine the cream cheese, buffalo sauce, cheddar cheese, chopped mushroom stems, green onions, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

Stuff the Mushrooms

Fill each mushroom cap with the buffalo filling, pressing down slightly to pack it in.

Bake

Place the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes or until the mushrooms are tender and the tops are golden brown.

Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Buffalo-Stuffed Mushrooms!

Serving Suggestions

These Buffalo-Stuffed Mushrooms are best served warm, straight from the oven. Pair them with a side of ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping, which complements the spicy flavors beautifully. For an extra kick, drizzle more buffalo sauce over the top before serving.

Consider serving these stuffed mushrooms alongside a fresh veggie platter or buffalo chicken dip to create a cohesive appetizer spread. This not only enhances the presentation but also provides a variety of flavors and textures that your guests will love.

Storing and Reheating

If you have any leftovers, store the Buffalo-Stuffed Mushrooms in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can be kept for up to three days. To reheat, simply place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through. This will help maintain their texture and flavor.

For longer storage, you can freeze the unbaked stuffed mushrooms. Just prepare them up to the baking step, place them on a baking sheet to freeze, and then transfer them to a freezer-safe container. When you're ready to enjoy, bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
