Smoked Crab and Andouille Stuffed Mushrooms

[Cajunsmoke13]

Been wanting some stuffed mushrooms. Made them with a stuffing of crab, andouille sausage, oyster crackers, red bell pepper, onion, celery, eggs, old bay, salt, and garlic powder. Made some crab cakes with the leftover stuffing. Topped them with Monterey Jack, Colby, and Cheddar Cheese.

Thanks. These really rock. Recipe is a keeper. Here it is.

Ingredients:
35 fresh mushrooms
1/4 cup celery, finely chopped
2 tablespoons onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons red bell pepper, finely chopped
1/2 pound crab claw meat
2 cups oyster crackers crushed
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, ground
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1/2 cup water
6 white cheddar cheese, slices

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400degrees F.

Saute celery, onion, and pepper in butter for 2 minutes, transfer to a plate and cool in the refrigerator.

While vegetables cool, wash mushrooms and remove stems. Set caps to the side and finely chop half of the stems. Discard the other half of the stems or use elsewhere. Combine the sauteed vegetables, chopped mushroom stems, and all other ingredients (except cheese slices) and mix well.

Place mushroom caps in individual buttered casseroles or baking dishes. Spoon 1 teaspoon of stuffing into each mushroom. Cover with sliced cheese.

Outstanding shrooms! I love the ones they have at Olive Garden, and have made a few bold but less than successful attemps from scratch..

The looks of yours blow them out of the water - gonna have to give them a whirl - thanks for the recipe - to ya for sharing.

PS: Where are the Stumps? Tell me you didn't throw away the stumps!

I just opened this thread- did not look at a pict other than a drive by... down to the end and clicked the "Points" button. The title says it all. I really do NOT wanna see this now... I have the munchies...

[Cajunsmoke13]

Thanks to all. No, the stumps (Stems) were cut into pieces and added to the stuffing mixture, only half though. It doesn't mention the amount of butter on here. I doubled the entire recipe and used a whole stick of butter to soften the veggies. I added more Old Bay also.
