Sausage and Cheddar Stuffed Mushrooms are the perfect party snack. Mushrooms baked with a creamy, cheesy sausage filling.
I love getting to peek into other people’s Thanksgiving meals. Whether it’s via Instagram or a blog post or just hearing someone talk about their holiday. Thanksgiving is such a traditional meal and I think most of us tend to make the same things year after year. I love seeing other people’s menus for inspiration to change it up a little.
I never considered stuffed mushrooms a Thanksgiving dish but on the first Thanksgiving my husband and I spent together, I ate my weight in them at his mom’s house. And they have been a holiday staple in our house ever since.
I don’t think I’ve ever met a stuffed mushroom that I didn’t love but I like to make mine with sausage, a good cheddar, and cream cheese to give the stuffing that super creamy texture.
Can You Make Them Ahead?
You can make the filling ahead and fill the mushrooms. I would wait to bake them until you plan to serve them so they are nice and hot.
How Long Are They Good For?
Stuffed mushrooms are fine for up to 3 days but the mushrooms will likely get soggy the longer they sit.

Mmmm… love stuffed mushrooms! I am addicted to the Whole Foods cheese counter. I especially love the basket with the various leftover ends. It’s like a treasure hunt!

These look amazing! I love stuffed mushrooms — perhaps a little too much. And the smoked cheddar! What a great addition.
Tracey says
I always make stuffed mushrooms for Thanksgiving and then proceed to give myself a stomach ache eating my weight in them… LOL. I need to find that smoked cheddar and try these, they sound amazing!
Elizabeth @ SugarHero.com says
I’m not a mushroom fan but I love everything else in this recipe–ha! I’m seriously tempted to make it atop toast or something–the combination of smoked cheese and sage sausage sounds amazing.

My crowd doesn’t eat meat (except for my husband and me)so we have a small turkey for us and yes I do 2 Tofurky’s for the meatless crowd. We love stuffed mushrooms and if you need a meatless appetizer follow this recipe except leave out the sausage and had 1 thawed and very squeezed out 10oz package of frozen chopped spinach in its place (follow Amanda’s recipe) and it is so good!! Would love to have the Sausage & Cheddar Mushroom now though!!

I’ve never considered stuffed mushrooms for thanksgiving either, but this is such a good idea- my family always starts whining for food like three hours before dinner is ready, so these mushrooms would be great to leave out and keep people a little satiated til the main event!
