Ingredients

• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• ⅓ cup chopped onion
• ½ teaspoon dried oregano
• ¾ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• ½ pound ground Italian sausage
• ½ cup pizza sauce

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with foil.

Step 2

Cook sausage, 1/2 cup pepperoni, onion, and garlic in a large skillet over medium heat until sausage is no longer pink, 5 to 6 minutes. Add cream cheese, pizza sauce, and oregano; cook and stir until cream cheese has melted. Stir in Parmesan cheese and remove from the heat.

Step 3

Wipe mushrooms clean and remove and discard stems. Spoon a heaping tablespoon of the stuffing mixture into each mushroom cap and place on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until mushrooms are tender, about 15 minutes.

Step 5

Remove from the oven and top mushrooms with mozzarella and remaining 2 tablespoons pepperoni. Return to the oven until cheese is melted, 2 to 4 minutes.
