PORTABELLA MUSHROOMS STUFFED WITH ITALIAN SAUSAGE
Form Olive Garden. I haven't made these yet, but I think I will try it without the sauce. Update: I made these tonight and was going to make the sauce, but didn't have time. I had to substitue Italian bread crumbs for the croutons and I added chopped mushrooms stems. I also sprinkled with lemon juice after they were cooked and it was wonderful! I also used portobello and regular mushrooms-both were good!

Tips:
- Choose the right mushrooms. For stuffing, look for large, firm mushrooms with intact caps. Avoid mushrooms that are slimy or bruised.
- Clean the mushrooms gently. Use a damp paper towel or soft brush to wipe away any dirt or debris from the mushrooms. Do not submerge them in water, as this can make them soggy.
- Remove the stems. Use a sharp knife to carefully twist and remove the stems from the mushrooms. Leave the caps intact.
- Stuff the mushrooms evenly. When stuffing the mushrooms, be sure to distribute the filling evenly so that each mushroom has a good amount of filling.
- Bake the mushrooms until golden brown. Bake the stuffed mushrooms at a high temperature until the caps are golden brown and the filling is cooked through. This will usually take about 20-25 minutes.
