REE DRUMMOND STUFFED MUSHROOMS RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Wipe off or wash the mushrooms in cold water. Pop out the stems, reserving. Chop the mushroom stems finely and set aside.
• Crumble the sausage into a hot dry skillet and cook until browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Set aside on a plate to cool.
• Add the rosemary, sage, garlic and onions to the same skillet; cook for 2 minutes over medium-low heat. Pour in the wine to deglaze the skillet, allowing the liquid to evaporate for a couple of minutes. Add the chopped mushroom stems and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Set the mixture aside on a plate to cool.
• In a bowl, combine the cream cheese and egg yolk. Add the Cheddar cheese and mix. Add the sausage and mushroom stems and stir together.
• Arrange the mushroom caps on a baking sheet. Spoon some of the sausage mixture into the cavity of each mushroom, filling the cap and creating a sizable mound over the top. Bake until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Sprinkle with the chives.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Cut the tops off the peppers. Remove and discard the stems, then finely chop the tops; set aside. Scoop out the seeds and as much of the membrane as you can. Place the peppers cut-side up in a baking dish just large enough to hold them upright.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef, season with salt and pepper and cook, breaking up the lumps, until the meat is cooked through and just beginning to brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to get rid of the fat.
• Wipe out the skillet and add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add the onions and chopped peppers and cook until beginning to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and zucchini and cook for another minute. Add the tomatoes and season with salt and a pinch or 2 of red pepper flakes. Cook until everything is heated through, then stir in the beef and rice. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Stir in 1 cup of the cheese.
• Fill the peppers with the rice mixture and top each with a sprinkle of the remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Pour a small amount of water into the bottom of the baking dish and drizzle the peppers with a little olive oil. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake until the peppers are soft and the cheese is melted and lightly browned, another 15 to 20 minutes.
