Found on Facebook and can't wait to try it! Always hard to find a good stuffed mushroom recipe but this looks like the winner! The recipe called for claw meat but I will be using backfin or regular. Born and raised in Maryland so I know backfin will give it a better flavor!

How To Make crab stuffed mushrooms

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Saute celery, onion and red bell pepper in butter for 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate and cool in refrigerator.
  • 2
    While vegetables cool, wipe mushrooms clean and remove stems. Finely chop half of the mushrooms stems and discard other half or save for other use.
  • 3
    Combine the cooled vegetables, chopped mushroom stems and all other ingredients except for parmesan cheese and mix well.
  • 4
    Place mushroom caps in buttered mini muffin pans or in a large buttered pyrex dish, big enough to hold all the mushrooms. Spoon 1 teaspoon of stuffing mix into each mushroom. Sprinkle with shredded parmesan cheese.
  • 5
    Bake in preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until cheese is melted and lightly browned.
