If you hate mushrooms, sorry about this one. But, I loooove mushrooms, and I love them on and in a lot of foods. Pizza is one of my favorites. When I saw this recipe on Lauren's Latest, I was stoked. I love cheese, pepperoni, and shrooms, and what could be better. The beauty of this recipe is that you really can customize it to your desire. Anything that you like on top of your pizza, just chop into small pieces and throw in the filling. I used red onions and pepperoni. The original recipe called for black olives, but I don't play that way. Ick. So I left them out. Easy peasy. We had these for the Final Four basketball games, but you could have these anyday. They're so good and easy to make.
 
Pizza-Stuffed Mushrooms
Print this recipe

12 white mushrooms (the larger they are, the more filling you can put in them!)
4 ounces cream cheese softened
1/4 cup grated mozzarella
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
1/8 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cups pepperoni, diced
2 tablespoons each of additional fill ins (onion, green pepper, olices, ham, sausage, etc.)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a cast iron skillet or sheet pan and set aside.

Wash the mushrooms and remove the stem (they should pop out of the cap). If you run the mushrooms under water, make sure you drain any water out of the cap.

In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, mozzarella, and spices. Mix together until combined. Stir in the pepperoni and other fill-ins and scoop into the mushroom caps.

Place in your sprayed pan and bake for 20 minutes. After the time is up, switch your oven to broil and brown the tops.

Yum!! I actually don't like mushrooms, but I do like stuffed mushrooms - weird I know, but I can't explain it! Maybe it's the cream cheese?

This is such a great idea to make them with pizza flavors, you can never go wrong with pizza anything ;)

Pure brilliance. Genius. Who doesn't love pizza and anything stuffed is always a-okay by me. Mushrooms are definitely a fun and tasty stuffing food. Great thinking!

I love this idea... Too cute! Growing up, we had stuffed mushrooms at every, and I mean EVERY holiday event... Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, the 4th of July. My family loves those little suckers. And coming from an Italian family, this recipe looks delightful with all that gooey cheese, oregano, and basil. Yum.
