Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms – Keto Friendly
Now that the weather is beautiful and we are socializing a bit more, these are a delicious crowd-pleasing appetizer. These hearty stuffed mushrooms are loaded with cream cheese, spinach, and sausage. A quick tip on washing mushrooms – you don’t! Rather, take a wet paper towel or a wet cloth and wipe them down. Mushrooms contain a lot of moisture and if you wash them, then bake them, there will be a lot of water on your tray, so a wipe-down method will help to preserve all your flavour!
