How To Make Stuffed Mushrooms
To make stuffed mushrooms, you create a stuffing using the ingredients of your choice, stuff the mushrooms with the filling, then bake them until they are tender.

First, choose the proper mushroom. There is a wide variety of mushrooms to choose from: white button mushrooms, cremini mushrooms, and baby portobello to name a few.
For this recipe, I use baby portobello mushrooms. The firm texture and size of baby portobello mushrooms make them easy to stuff.
Be sure to wash and rinse all mushrooms thoroughly. Remove all stems from the mushroom caps. Finely dice the mushroom stems into small pieces. You’ll add them to the stuffing for the mushroom caps.
Next, thoroughly prepare and cook the stuffing for your mushrooms. In a skillet, season and sauté your meat. I use ground pork for this recipe.
Once the pork is cooked, add the riced cauliflower and diced mushroom stems to the skillet.
Sauté until riced cauliflower is heated through and the mushroom stems are tender.
Finally, in a mixing bowl, add your cooked ground pork, riced cauliflower, and mushroom stems.
To that mixture, add the softened cream cheese and stir until well combined. Add fresh herbs like sage and thyme to give your stuffed mushroom a fresh pop of flavor.

Now, for the fun part, fill mushroom caps with the prepared stuffing and set them into a large cast-iron skillet. Top the mushrooms with your favorite cheese.
My favorites for this recipe are gouda and parmesan cheese. Bake until cheese is golden brown and melted.
