Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms
Stuffed mushrooms are a classic easy to make appetizer. There are so many variations out there, but most, including this one, feature a cheesy mixture with other optional additions of meat, seafood or spices.
If you are doing a holiday get together and need to fill your appetizer menu in addition to these mushrooms, Chipped Beef Dip With Dill , Biscuit Wreath With Buffalo Chicken Dip, Buffalo Chicken Tenders and http://damndelicious.net/2016/09/06/sheet-pan-nachos/ All are great choices.
Joe and I both love mushrooms so thought this would be a great choice as an appetizer or even as a side dish for thanksgiving. We were having a hard time finding things in the low carb category. Although I’m not strict keto he definitely is. I’m so proud that he plans to follow his eating plan even through the holidays
The first time I tested the mushrooms, Joe thought they had too much cream cheese. Therefore some adjustments were made to the recipe. We used less cream cheese and more sharp cheese.
