This recipe for vegan sausage stuffed mushrooms will have your most carnivorous friends begging you to make them again and again!
These little mushrooms are packed with more flavor than you can imagine!
Perfect as an appetizer for any party, but I do love to serve these specifically on New Year’s Eve.
You can use any brand vegan sausage you like
Just be sure to read the ingredients as many brands claim to be “meatless” but will then add egg whites or even milk.
Portabellas make for a great single serving appetizer or even the main course

Notes for Success:
Panko whole wheat bread crumbs is my choice, but any bread crumbs will do fine, including gluten free bread crumbs with great success.
I only use Tofutti Cream Cheese for my BAKED recipes *not sponsored
Since I have not had success with any other brand in BAKED recipes; for some reason the other more expensive brands I’ve tried have broken down into an oily mess when baked.
However recently some of my viewers have told me that they’ve “had success with Violife! It’s a little less perfect than Tofutti but still delicious”
Another viewer said, “I used Miyokos original and it turned out divine!!”

Leftover mushrooms should be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days

Gretchen, while watching your stuffed “vegan” sausage mushroom recipe, it reminded me of this little twist my little sicilian grandmother used to do. She was not a vegan and used real sausage and dairy products but I think it would still work with the ingredients you use as well. The only variant is that she instead of stuffing her mushrooms which she used to do as well, she would take a butter greased baking dish and either buy the cut up sliced or pre cut mushrooms or cut her own and mix the mushrooms together with the stuffing the same as what you have, only she did not use the cream cheese, but it may still work well with it! After you mix all of your onions, sausage, mushrooms, spices parsley cheese etc. together, she used to layer the mixture in the greased baking dish then drizzle it with a little olive oil and pats of butter, then she would squeeze fresh lemon juice over the each layer before adding another She would top it with grated parmesan or pecorino (sheep milk) romano cheese, then bake it at like 350 to 400 degrees until the cheeses were melted, the mushrooms cooked through and the top crispy. When you taste it with the lemon juice in it, it just pops in your mouth and is an incredible flavor! or if you like stuffing the mushrooms the old fashioned way , just try adding the lemon juice over the top before adding the butter for a similar taste (I should think) I had not tried it yet, your way. Hers was really great though!
OH YES! This sounds amazing and I can almost TASTE that pop of lemon! Great idea! THANK YOU!! I will definitely try that next time!!
