Stuffed Mushrooms

1 (16 ounce)  Jimmy Dean Maple flavor sausage

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened

20 large button mushrooms, stems removed (save the stems and chop to add to sausage)

1. Preheat the broiler.
2. Place sausage in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium heat until evenly browned and crumbled.
3. Add chopped stems and sauté with sausage for about 3-4 minutes.
4. Drain and transfer to a mixing bowl.
5. Blend cream cheese with the sausage and stem mixture.
6. Stuff mushroom caps with the cream cheese and sausage mixture.
7. Arrange stuffed mushroom caps on a baking sheet. Broil in the preheated oven 2 to 3 minutes, until lightly browned.

Optional: May also be baked at 375° until mushrooms are tender and begin to sweat approximately 10 minutes.

Tip: Aluminum foil can be used to line the pan. It helps cook mushrooms evenly, and makes clean-up easy.
