Thanksgiving is right around the corner, so I wanted to try out some new recipes for the big day. I love stuffed mushrooms, but I don’t love the time it takes to stuff all those little caps. With this dish, you just have to quarter the mushrooms and cook them in a skillet along with the “filling”. Once cooked, top with some seasoned buttered panko and then bake.
This version is stuffed with seasoned panko, but you could use the same fillings you would use in traditional stuffed mushrooms. The next time I make this dish, I’ll probably do a spinach and artichoke mixture. Sausage would be another great filling.
The best part about this dish is that it goes together really quickly, leaving you more time to spend with your family. Once you try this dish, it is sure to become a mainstay in your Thanksgiving repertoire.

Notes
This is one of those recipes you can take a million different directions. It's fantastic as described here, but you could add sausage to the mix, or spinach and artichokes. Whatever version of stuffed mushrooms you like can make as a casserole.
