Ingredient notes:

• Mushrooms - you can use white button mushrooms or cremini. You want to grab the package where the caps look large. In a pinch you can use mini portobello mushrooms.
• Sausage - a lot of raw sausage brands are naturally gluten free, make sure to read the ingredients labels. You can use a precooked sausage but you will need to cut it up really fine.
• Cream cheese - you can use full fat or low-fat in this recipe.
• Leeks - you can substitute onion or scallions if you can't find leeks.
• Jalapeño - if you don't like spice, you can skip this ingredient.

Recipe step by step directions:

Step 1: Wash your mushroom caps and remove the stems. Chop up the stems into small pieces.

Step 2: Cook the sausage patties on medium heat. Shred them up as they cook. You can also use link style sausage and remove the casings.

Step 3: Add in the sauteed leek, mushroom stems, and jalapeno peppers. Cook for 5 minutes together.

Step 4: Add cream cheese and the gluten free breadcrumbs. Cook on medium-low heat until the cheese melts

Step 5: You will end up with this delicious cheesy sausage mixture. Stuff it into washed fresh mushroom caps. Bake at 350º F for 15-20 minutes until the mushrooms are cooked.

Enjoy this easy gluten free stuffed mushrooms recipe while they are hot and all of the cheese is melty and gooey :-).

Notes

1. Please lightly wash your mushrooms before using them.
2. Chop up your stems into very small pieces.
3. You can use white button mushrooms or cremini sized.
4. Full fat or low-fat cream cheese is fine to use in this recipe. Both will be creamy.
5. Make sure to read the ingredients in the raw sausage patties you purchase. Most should be gluten free but you should always double-check.
6. You can use gluten free bread crumbs or panko. My easy homemade gluten free bread crumbs recipe is really easy to make.
