30 medium raw button mushrooms (about 1 1/2 pounds)
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 1/4 cups shredded smoked cheddar cheese
1/4 cup roasted red pepper, drained and diced
2 tablespoons grated onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Set out a 9 X 13 inch baking dish. Gently pop off the stems of the mushrooms. Discard the stems or save for later use. Then use a damp paper towel to brush off the dirt on the mushroom tops. Do rinse them in water.
In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese, smoked cheddar cheese, diced red pepper, onion, and garlic together. Add 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper. Mix well.
Use a spoon to pack the cavity of each mushroom with cheese filling. It's ok if it pops over the top a little.
