Stuffed Mushroom Casserole

When it comes to party appetizers, stuffed mushrooms have to be one of our favorites. Earthy, buttery mushrooms filled with creamy cheese and topped off with crispy bread crumbs… what’s not to love? They grace every food table at our family gatherings and are typically the first thing to go.

Really, the only thing we don’t love about this classic app is the assembly. So when we came across a recipe for a Stuffed Mushroom Casserole we knew we had to try it!

All the flavors and textures of your beloved stuffed mushrooms in one super simple casserole. It’s a dream come true.

You’ll find all the standard ingredients like cream cheese, garlic, and plenty of breadcrumbs and cheese. We used white mushrooms for this recipe, but you could definitely mix up the mushroom type and even do a little mix and matching.

You’re going to start out by sauteing the mushrooms in a skillet to cook off some of the extra moisture (no one wants a soggy casserole). From there, you’ll toss in the garlic to really meld those flavors together and then stir in one of the most delicious parts of the flavor equation: cream cheese. Once you’ve combined that mixture, all you have to do is add the final cheese and layer it all up in your casserole dish. We’ve used an 8×8 dish here, but you could easily double the recipe for a larger crowd and use a 9×13 dish. Considering how this one went over with my family, doubling might be the way to go!

No matter the occasion, you can’t go wrong with this stuffed mushroom casserole. We might not go back to the traditional assembly after seeing just how easy this version is!
