stuffed mushrooms

I grew up with my mom making stuffed mushrooms and never ate them until in high school. That was when I feel in love with this simple appetizer or meal. They're easy to make and are so versatile, you could add just about anything and they would be delicious! My go to favorites on lump {fresh, and real" crab meat and a sausage and cream cheese mix.
