MUSHROOM STUFFED ONIONS--MIDWEST

Steps:

• To make onion cases: peel 6 medium or 3 large onions. Boil/simmer until tender.
• Remove from water and cool. If using medium onions, cut a slice from the top and hollow out, leaving a 3/4-inch shell. (Hint: use kitchen scissors). If using large onions, cut in half (doesn't matter whether horizontally or vertically). Remove the centers, leaving a 3/4-inch shell. Chop the centers.
• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Sauté the chopped mushrooms in 2 T of the butter until tender; sprinkle with 1 T of the flour and mix. Stir in 1/3 C milk or cream and stir until thickened. Season with salt and lots of paprika. Fill the onion cases with mushroom mixture.
• Make white sauce by melting 2 T butter; stir in 2 T flour until blended. Slowly stir in 1 C milk or cream; stir until thickened. Add the chopped onion centers and any of the mushroom mixture that didn't fit in the onion cases. Season the sauce well with salt, paprika, and Worcestershire sauce or sherry.
• Pour the seasoned white sauce into a shallow baking dish. Add the stuffed onion cases, stuffing side up. The tops may be sprinkled with bread crumbs dotted with butter or sprinkled with cheese -- or not.
• Bake the onions until they are well-heated. Garnish with parsley. They may be served on toast.
• For vegetarian do not use Worcestershire sauce option use the sherry or use a vegetarian Worcestershire sauce.

THE BEST STUFFED MUSHROOMS

• Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until crisp and evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate; crumble the drained bacon into a bowl. Stir in the cream cheese, 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, Worcestershire sauce, and pepper until evenly mixed. Spoon the filling into the mushroom caps and place into an 8x8-inch baking dish.

• Bake in the preheated oven until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes.

BEST EVER STUFFED MUSHROOMS

MOUTH-WATERING STUFFED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Clean mushrooms with a damp paper towel. Carefully break off stems. Chop stems extremely fine, discarding tough end of stems.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and chopped mushroom stems to the skillet. Fry until any moisture has disappeared, taking care not to burn garlic. Set aside to cool.
• When garlic and mushroom mixture is no longer hot, stir in cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, black pepper, onion powder and cayenne pepper. Mixture should be very thick. Using a little spoon, fill each mushroom cap with a generous amount of stuffing. Arrange the mushroom caps on prepared cookie sheet.
• Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the mushrooms are piping hot and liquid starts to form under caps.
