Entertaining is one of my favorite activities, which is great since I love to cook and visit with family and friends.

Tasty appetizers are an important piece of the entertainment puzzle, and I’m always looking for a new recipe or way to elevate every party with a new dish.

Putting a twist on a classic dish does the trick!

For Chorizo Stuffed Mushrooms, you will need…ChorizoStuffedMushrooms
1 lb. white button mushrooms
4 oz. chorizo
4 oz. cream cheese, softened
2 tsp. garlic, minced
1 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. dried oregano
Monterrey Jack cheese

When you see a stuffed mushroom, they’re usually filled with breadcrumbs, seasoning and maybe some cheese. They have a pretty good flavor but they always seem to be missing something to me. Adding some protein and a little bit of heat mixed with creamy texture takes them to a whole new level of tasty.

Start by washing and stemming your mushrooms. Don’t discard the stems, though. Because you’ll need to finely chop them, so you can add them to the stuffing. Also, preheat your oven to 400 degrees.

In a large skillet, over medium high heat, crumble and cook the chorizo with the garlic, mushroom stems and seasonings.

Once the meat is cooked through, drain any extra grease. Mix the meat and cream cheese together.

Finally, top each mushroom with a bit of Monterrey Jack cheese and bake for 20 minutes or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
