Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms

They can be prepared one day ahead. Can also be prepared to accompany steak as a side dish.

36 medium mushrooms
1/2 lb sausage
approx. 4 ounces almond meal
mayonnaise, to moisten [or use homemade Baconnaise]
1 large onion or 3 green onions, including tops, chopped

Wash mushrooms. Remove stems and chop.

Brown sausage, stems and onions. Drain well.

Mix sausage mixture and stuffing with enough mayonnaise to hold together.

Place caps in baking dish, fill with sausage mixture. Cover and chill.

These can be made a day ahead. At serving time, preheat oven to 450. Bake 10 minutes.

Note: To accompany steak, use 8 very large mushrooms. Bake 15 minutes.

Comments:
- I doubled the recipe, using hot italian sausage, green onions, and the large stuffing mushrooms. I also added finely chopped green bell pepper to the saute mixture. Rave reviews from all 4 guests at dinner.
- I used Jimmy Dean Hot sausage.Now the only thing I do different is add fresh garlic to the saute mixture.
