Recipe: Cheddar-Stuffed Mushrooms

This is a really simple stuffed mushroom recipe. It uses Stove Top stuffing and Cheddar cheese and takes only a few minutes to prepare. The really nice part is you can prepare this a day ahead and store them in the fridge.

You can substitute other kinds of cheese for the Cheddar. Swiss, Monterey Jack and crumbled blue cheese all work well also.

This is a really great last minute addition to your holiday appetizer buffet.
