Ingredients
Scale
1 package Shawnee Mills Cornbread Mix
3 (8 Oz) packages J-M Farms Cremini Mushrooms
1/2 lb Greers Ranch House Sausage
5 medium shallots, finely diced
1/4 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
3 tablespoons Hiland Dairy Unsalted Butter
1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Prepare cornbread according to package directions. Bake, then set aside to cool. Once cool, crumble 1/3 of the cornbread to make 2/3 cup cornbread crumbs.
Wash and dry the mushrooms, then remove stems. Finely chop mushrooms stems, along with 2 large whole mushrooms caps.
Cook sausage in a medium saute pan over medium heat until browned. Add the shallots and red pepper flakes, cooking until shallots are tender, about 4 minutes. Stir in the chopped mushroom stems, ÔøΩ tsp salt and ÔøΩ tsp pepper, then cook for about 3 minutes. Add butter, stirring until melted.
Transfer mushroom mixture to a large bowl, and stir in the cornbread crumbs and Parmesan cheese. Season to taste.
Place mushrooms in a buttered shallow baking dish. Stuff each mushroom cap with the mushroom mixture. The filling should form a tall mound. Drizzle mushrooms with the olive oil, and bake until the mushrooms are tender and the breadcrumbs are golden brown, about 20 minutes. Serve warm.
Tip: Leftover filling is great on sliced buttered bread as a mushroom crostini.
