Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms I

Ingredients

• 1 (12 ounce) package ground sausage
• 18 fresh mushrooms
• 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
• 3/4 cup dry bread crumbs
• 1 cup red wine

Directions

Place sausage in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain and set aside.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

Clean the mushrooms. Remove, chop and reserve the stems.

In a medium bowl, gently mix the chopped mushroom stems, cream cheese and bread crumbs. Mix in the sausage and 1/4 cup red wine.

Using a spoon, stuff the mushroom caps with the chopped stem mixture. Transfer to a large baking dish, and cover with the remaining red wine.

Bake in the preheated oven 25 to 30 minutes, or until the mixture is lightly brown.
