"I don't remember what cookbook this is from. I think it was a compilation of restaurant recipes. These are excellent! They disappear every time I make them. They are spicy so if you don't like heat, you can try making them without hot sausage or red pepper flakes."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Wash the mushrooms and pat dry with paper towels.
Step 2
Remove the stems and set aside (they can be minced and added to the sausage mixture later is desired).
Step 3
Preheat oven to 350.
Step 4
Cook and crumble the sausage in a large skillet until done, drain, and place in a mixing bowl. Add the cream cheese, jack cheese, crushed red pepper flakes and minced stems if desired. Mix well.
Step 5
Place 1 heaping teaspoon of the mixture into each mushroom cap.
Step 6
Place the stuffed mushroom caps on a rimmed baking pan, sprinkle with parmesan, and bake for 20 minutes.
Step 7
Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
Step 8
Serve stuffed mushrooms on a decorative serving platter.
Step 9
Sometimes I make them ahead and line a tupperware with paper towels and put them in it. Then they are ready to bake just before the event.
