    Skillet Stuffed Mushrooms (Hongos Rellenos) cooked in a cast iron skillet, topped with parsley sprigs.

    In Spanish we call Stuffed Mushrooms with Italian Sausage, Hongos Rellenos con Salchicha Italiana or Champiñones Rellenos con Salchicha Italiana.

    Ingredients

    • white, crimini or portobello mushrooms
    • Italian mild or hot sausage
    • garlic cloves
    • butter
    • bread slices to make homemade breadcrumbs (these are really, really easy to make and sooo much better than store bought!)
    • onion
    • parsley
    • jalapeño (optional, if you want spicy mushrooms, add a whole or half a chopped and seeded jalapeño)
    • shredded mozzarella cheese
    • salt and pepper taste
    • extra butter to grease skillet
    • lime wedges for serving

    How to Make Skillet Stuffed Mushrooms/Como Hacer Hongos Rellenos

    Mushrooms: Using a damp cloth or damp paper towel, clean debris off of mushrooms.

    Chop Stems: With a knife slice a very small thin piece off the ends of the stems to simply get rid of the hard ends. Then pull stems out.

    Scoop Mushroom: With a small spoon, scoop a little bit of the inside of the mushroom out to make more space for filling. Note: This step is completely optional but if you do, make sure not to scoop a lot, it will weaken the structure of mushrooms. I prefer my mushrooms thicker so I skip this step. Finally chop stems.

    Parsley, Garlic and Onion: Chop both parsley and onion. Mince garlic. Set aside.

    • Bread slices broken up and added to a blender to make homemade breadcrumbs.
    • Homemade bread crumbs made in a blender.

    Breadcrumbs: Break bread slices and add to a blender or food chopper. Blend for a few seconds until smooth. Set aside.

    • Raw Italian sausage being cooked in a cast iron skillet.
    • Sausage cooked and onions added to skillet for mushroom stuffing.

    Sausage Filling

    Sausage: Remove sausage from casing by squeezing sausage out of it. Add the sausage to a skillet over medium heat.

    Break Sausage: Using a wooden spoon, break apart sausage to cook evenly and spread across pan. Lower heat and allow sausage to fully cook, about 5-10 minutes.

    After sausage has cooked, add onions and garlic. Cook for a few minutes, making sure not to burn garlic.

    • Chopped mushroom stems added to skillet with sausage and onions.
    • Breadcrumbs added to skillet for stuffed mushrooms.

    Stems and breadcrumbs: Add chopped stems and 6 tablespoons of butter. Allow butter to melt. Stir and combine well.

    Add breadcrumbs and stir again.

    • Sausage filling cooking in skillet.
    • Parsly and shredded cheese add to skillet.

    Cheese: Cook filling for a few more minutes and then add about a ½ cup of shredded mozzarella cheese and chopped parsley. Stir and combine well.

    Season: Sprinkle a little bit of salt and pepper. Taste filling and add more salt if needed.

    Turn heat off and allow filling to cool for a few minutes.

    Mushrooms have been stuffed and added to a cast iron skillet.

    Stuff Mushrooms: After stuffing has cooled for a few minutes, use a teaspoon to add stuffing to mushrooms.

    Add 2 tablespoons of butter to a skillet and allow to melt over medium heat. Add mushrooms and top with more shredded cheese.

    Cover skillet with a lid or aluminum foil.

    Cook Mushrooms: Cook mushrooms over medium heat for 10-15 minutes or until mushrooms are tender.

    Mushrooms are done! Sprinkle with lime juice and serve with lime wedges.

    Fully cooked skillet Stuffed Mushrooms served on a white platter with lime wedges and chopped parsley.

    Can You Prepare Skillet Stuffed Mushrooms in Advance?

    Yes you can! This makes it a perfect appetizer to serve for the holidays!

    You can prepare filling up to three days in advance and stuff mushrooms when ready to cook.

    Or make stuffing and stuff mushrooms a day ahead. Pop in a skillet when ready to cook.

      This is the third time making these. Easy and beats any restaurant appetizer. Not clear on how much breadcrumbs

        Hi Frankie! So happy to hear you have enjoyed these! Thank you so much for taking the time to let me know how much you have enjoyed them. As far as the bread crumbs, not sure if you have seen in the recipe card where I list in the ingredients, 3-5 bread slices to be added to a blender until crumbled to make homemade bread crumbs. This is because I prefer to use homemade breadcrumbs versus store bought that sometimes can be stale. If you prefer to use store bought bread crumbs with a brand you trust and are used to, use about 3/4 cup. I hope this helps, please let me know if you have any other questions. 🙂
