Sausage and Red Pepper Stuffed Mushrooms

In honor of one of my newest blogging buddies getting married, we’re celebrating with a virtual shower! These things are seriously torturous though. So many amazing dishes made from people scattered about the country and sometimes the world. I wish I could taste everything!

I hope this comes as a surprise to Megan. Since she’s being super secretive about wedding plans, it only seems fair that we kept a surprise from her! I can’t wait for all of the fun details to come out.

In the meantime, enjoy some spicy stuffed mushrooms. You can easily adjust these to your liking by using sweet, hot or extra hot sausage. The best thing about these is how quick they are to pull together. 5-10 minutes of prep and 20 minutes in the oven. There’s very little hands on time with these. Sit back and enjoy a drink while you wait for a perfect two (or three) bite spicy appetizer.

    You are speaking my language Rachel. There is no way on earth that I wouldn’t be hovering over these, batting away prying fingers that would try to steal them. A growl or two escaping my lips. YUMMMM!!

    Thank you so much for all of this Rachel. I’m so touched. You girls really just made my week. Thank you.

    These are gorgeous and would make a lovely addition to any shower. I’m thinking they’d be perfect for a party I have to throw in a couple of weeks. I sure wish we could have all met somewhere and thrown this in person. Would have been so much fun.

    The best part? You can probably sneak a spoonful of filling to snack on while you’re waiting for the rest of these to bake-up! I’m a little shameless in case you couldn’t already tell. ;)

    This looks great. Maybe I will try to add some fruits if it is for party. Probably peaches or mangoes would be nice. :)
