Recipe Variations, Tips and Substitutions

Mushrooms – You can use any mushroom variety that you enjoy for these cheese stuffed mushrooms. Depending on the type of mushroom, the size varies. The mushroom caps used in this recipe, were purchased at my local Costco, and they are were large jumbo-size mushrooms so the amount of filling reflects this. If you use a smaller variety of mushrooms, you’ll have ample cheeseburger filling to make more than 30, so have extra mushrooms on hand just in case.
Bell Peppers – The stuffing for these mushrooms is also delicious mushroom bbq bacon cheeseburger stuffed peppers, too! You can use mini peppers or full size peppers cut in half.
Protein – You can make the cheeseburger filling using ground turkey or ground chicken.
BBQ Sauce – I recommend using a thick barbecue sauce in the filling so it doesn’t become watery while baking. You can replace the barbecue sauce with ketchup.
Freeze Extra Filling – Depending on the size of the mushrooms, the yield may be greater. Extra filling, can be frozen if needed.
Drain on Paper Towels – The mushrooms will naturally release liquid while baking. Carefully transfer them to a paper towel to blot and then arrange on a serving platter
