Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, add the cream cheese. Use a mixer to soften the cream cheese then add the garlic powder, cheddar cheese and jalapeños. Mix until it’s thoroughly combined.

Step 3: Use a food processor to grind up the jalapeño cheetos into crumbs. Next spread out some plastic wrap (I use 3 layers) flat onto the counter. Use a spoon and spread out 3/4 of the cheeto crumbs into a flattened circle on top of the plastic wrap. (press down on the circle with the bottom of the spoon.)

Step 4: Using a spatula make the jalapeño cream cheese mixture into a ball shape in the bottom of the bowl. Then transfer it onto the middle of the cheeto circle. Use a spoon or spatula to smooth the cream cheese into a round pumpkin shape.

Step 5: Slowly pull the plastic wrap up over the cream cheese mixture covering the sides with the cheeto crumbs. Use the remaining cheetos crumbs to cover the top of the pumpkin. use a spoon to press the top down, smoothing it out. Then, twist the plastic wrap together at the top and tighten with an elastic. Press the the cheese ball into the desired shape.

Step 6: Use 4 – 5 elastic bands to wrap the cheese ball into a pumpkin shape (see the pictures in the post for how to do this). Chill the cheese ball in the fridge for at least 2 hours, then remove the rubber bands. Top your pumpkin cheese ball with a bell pepper stem and serve with gluten free crackers or chips of your choice.

RECIPE NOTES FOR MAKING THE BEST PUMPKIN SHAPED CHEESE BALL:

  • Leftover cheese ball can be stored for 3-4 days, tightly wrapped in plastic wrap in the refrigerator.
  • If you’re not a fan of jalapeños you can make this cheese ball with chopped up pickles, roasted red peppers, sun dried tomatoes or try using onion soup mix or sour cream and onion or ranch dip mix. Another option is to used to use flavoured cream cheese.
  • You can coat the cheeseball in regular (non jalapeños) cheetos or the cheesy puff kind. Crushed  Doritos are another great option.
  • The pumpkin cheese ball can also be coated with shredded cheddar cheese but be sure to grate your own because the store bought grated cheese has a starch coating so it doesn’t stick together. In this case you want it to stick to itself.
  • I don’t soften (leave it out) the cream cheese before mixing it. My mixer is able to mix the cold cream cheese without a problem. It does take a minute or two. The cheese ball sets faster with the cream cheese cold.

Recipe Notes for making the Best Creamy Greek Whipped Feta Dip:

  • This dip can be made up to 3 days ahead of time and stored in a covered container in the refrigerator. It will stiffen up in the fridge to a spread-like consistency. I recommend keeping the greek salad topping in a separate bowl, until your ready to serve it.
  • Crumbled feta often contains extra ingredients to prevent caking, look for a block of feta cheese instead. It’ll give the dip a creamier texture and a richer, brinier flavour. It makes such a difference!
  • Use a piece of paper towel to remove any liquid that pools on side of the plate. If you drain off the liquid from the salad topping before adding it on top of the dip, there should be a very minimal amount around the rim.
  • I like serving this dip on a small plate instead of in a bowl because it helps distribute the topping throughout the whole dip better than if it was in a bowl. You can use a bowl instead of plate if you prefer.
  • I use a store bought garlic puree in a jar or tube. If you’d rather, you can use minced garlic but try to mince it as finely as possible. Garlic powder can be used instead of garlic puree as well.

Recipe Notes for making the best Mexican Street Corn Casserole

  • Frozen corn is best for this recipe. Canned corn can be used in a pinch. You can also use fresh corn off the cob if you prefer.
  • Queso fresco or Cotija cheese are the authentic cheeses used for Mexican Street Corn. Definitely use them if they’re available to you. If you can’t find any, feta and Monterey Jack are  good substitutes. I use them in this recipe because I’m more likely to find them at my local grocery store, (living in rural Canada).
  • For a spicier version, you can always add some cayenne pepper, or a diced jalapeno.
  • To make this recipe ahead of time, mix the ingredients and place them in the greased casserole dish. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Then bake right before serving.
  • Corn casserole can be stored in the fridge for 3-4 days.
  • To freeze, let the casserole chill completely in the refrigerator, then place it in an airtight, freezer-safe container. It will last up to three months in the freezer.

Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms

by Leave a Comment

These Delicious Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms are white button mushroom caps stuffed with Italian sausage, sauerkraut and three kinds of cheese. These mushrooms are naturally keto, gluten free, low carb and only require a handful of ingredients. They can also be prepped ahead of time, making them the perfect party appetizer!

Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms

What kind of mushrooms are best for stuffed mushrooms?

I like to use regular white button mushrooms for my stuffed mushrooms because they have a mild flavor that pairs perfectly with the savory sausage filling. You can also use large portobello mushrooms if you’re looking for an entree sized stuffed mushroom.

What cheese is best for sausage stuffed mushrooms?

I use three types of cheese in these mushrooms: cream cheese, parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese. The cream cheese acts as a binder, the parmesan adds flavor and shredded Mozzarella’s  mild creaminess complements the stronger flavors of the sausage. Other great cheese options are fontina, monterey jack or cheddar cheese.

How long do you bake stuffed mushrooms?

Sausage stuffed mushrooms need to bake for about 20 minutes. The mushrooms are done when the tops are crispy and browned and the mushroom caps are tender all the way through.

Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms

Can Stuffed Mushrooms be made in an Air fryer?

Yes, it would work well. Fry them at 400°F for 7-8 minutes or so. You would need to do this in batches so the mushrooms will fit in a single layer.

How do you clean mushrooms?

Mushrooms are very absorbent, so if you wash them or submerge them in water, they can become rubbery when you cook them. Instead, use a damp paper towel and wipe them off.

Can you freeze Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms?

Stuffed mushrooms can be frozen! Add assembled but unbaked stuffed mushrooms to a wax/parchment paper lined baking sheet and place in the freezer for about 2 hours, or until frozen solid. Transfer to a freezer-safe container, label with the date, and freeze for up to 3 months.

Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms

How do you make sausage stuffed mushrooms?

To make the delicious Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms:

Step 1: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F. Wipe mushrooms clean with lightly damp paper towels (I used 24 medium mushrooms). Remove stems and scoop out the brown gills from inside the mushrooms, being careful not to break through the shell. Place the mushroom caps into a mixing bowl and cover with olive oil. Gently stir until the mushrooms are coated in the oil. Arrange mushroom caps with the opening facing up on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 2: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook sausage until browned, breaking it apart with your spatula into crumbles. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and 1/2 cup sauerkraut. Let cook for 1 or 2 minutes then, remove from heat. Stir in salt and pepper and 1/2 cup cream cheese along with 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese.

Step 3: Divide the sausage mixture between the mushroom caps then cover each of them with the remaining mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle them with parmesan cheese and bake uncovered in the center of the oven for 18 – 20 minutes.

WHAT IS THE KETOGENIC DIET?

The ketogenic diet (often called keto) is a very low-carb, high-fat diet that shares similarities to paleo, Whole30, and Atkins. It involves drastically reducing carbohydrate intake, and replacing it with fat. When your body switches to burning fat for its primary fuel source, that’s when you hit ketosis.

While on the Keto diet you’re supposed to get at least 70 percent of your calories from fat, 15 to 25 percent from protein, and 10 percent from carbohydrates. You’re supposed to avoid all grains, legumes, root vegetables, fruit, (except berries) and sugar.

Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms

Keto Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms

This recipe for Keto Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms requires minimal effort and only uses simple and easy to find ingredients like white button mushrooms, sausage and cream cheese. The stuffed mushrooms are also naturally high in protein and are paleo and low carb as well as gluten free.

Their number 1 favourite are these Keto Bacon Dill Pickle Fat Bombs. Everyone loves how quick and easy they are to make. Another one of Their favourites, are these tasty Keto Jalapeño Popper Taquitos. They’re perfect for impressing party guests or for spoiling someone special.

Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms

Recipe Notes:

  • The stuffed mushrooms can be made in advance and reheated.
  • To Store: Refrigerate mushrooms in an airtight storage container for up to 3 days.
  • To Reheat: The best way to reheat leftover stuffed mushrooms is in the oven. Place the mushrooms in a baking dish in the oven at 350 degrees F. In a pinch, you can rewarm in the microwave.
  • To Freeze: Add assembled but unbaked stuffed mushrooms to a wax/parchment paper lined baking sheet and place in the freezer for about 2 hours, or until frozen solid. Transfer to a freezer-safe container, label with the date, and freeze for up to 3 months.
  • You can use any type of sausage that you like. I typically use a mild Italian sausage, but hot works just as well. You can buy bulk sausage, or simply remove the casings from the sausage before you cook it.
  • The stuffed mushrooms can be made in an oven proof skillet instead of a baking pan.
  • The left over mushroom stems can be diced up and added to the sausage mixture or can be saved for future stir fry, soups, omelettes or casseroles.
  • Garnish the Stuffed mushrooms with fresh parsley, thyme or chopped green onion.
  • The Sauerkraut can be swapped out with diced white onion if preferred. You can also skip it altogether.

Common Questions about making Smashed Brussels Sprouts

Why Do the Brussel Spouts need to be boiled?  They need to be boiled to soften them enough  to be smashed. I like to give them a quick boil first but you can also steam them on the stove or in the microwave, if that’s easiest for you.

Are larger or smaller Brussel Sprouts better for roasting? You can use either but smaller sprouts will get a bit crispier in the oven so that’s my personal preference. If you do have any giant sprouts you could halve them after boiling.

Can I use frozen Brussel Sprouts? Yes, you can use fresh or frozen brussel sprouts for this recipe. If using frozen, I generally use a 12 ounce package.

Are Smashed Brussels Sprouts Keto friendly? Yes they are keto friendly. 1/4 of the batch has 9 g of carbs but they are also high in fiber so that gives them 6 g net carbs in total. That makes them a great keto side dish, paired up with a steak or chicken breast. 

What kind of pan is best for this recipe? I like to use a rimmed baking sheet pan.

What temperature is best for roasted Brussel sprouts? Roasting Brussel sprouts needs to be done at high heat such as 425. Lower heat such as 350, will bake them and not roast them. High heat equals crisp edges.

Recipe Notes For Making The Best Smashed Brussels Sprouts:

– You can use fresh or frozen brussel sprouts for this recipe. If using frozen, I generally use a 12 ounce package.

– This recipe uses garlic puree. I used a store bought garlic puree that comes in a jar but you can puree your own in a food processor or use a mortar and pestle to smash it up. You can also just swap it our for minced garlic or garlic powder if you want to.

– You can also use a potato masher or fork to gently smash each brussel sprout.

– The Parmesan Cheese can be swapped out for mozzarella cheese if preferred.

– Olive oil can be switched out for the butter if needed.

– To get the brussel sprouts extra flat and crispy, boil or steam them a little longer.

Creamy Lemon Parmesan Chicken

Recipe Notes:

  • Removing as much of the liquid from the baking dish as possible around halfway through baking, will keep the parmesan chicken nice and crispy. You can gently poor off the liquid, use a spoon or baster to suck it out, or use a baking rack in your pan to keep the chicken off the bottom. Another option is to Gently move the chicken to a parchment paper lined baking sheet half way through cooking. This will help keep the breading nice and dry and crispy.
  • For an extra crisp, add a little more parmesan cheese to the tops before baking. Then turn your oven to broil for the last few minutes, but watch very carefully.
  • The Creamy Lemon Garlic Sauce is optional. The chicken is delicious enough to have on it’s own without the sauce. So if you’re counting calories or just don’t like cream sauce, you can easily skip it.
  • This Lemon Chicken and Cream Sauce also makes a fantastic pasta, served over: Zucchini Noodles, Steamed Vegetables, Cauliflower Rice, Low Carb or Gluten Free Noodles.
  • The mayonnaise and parmesan breading will work for chicken thighs as well.  Using boneless thighs pounded flat, worked as well as the chicken breasts.Creamy Lemon Parmesan Chicken

WHAT IS THE KETOGENIC DIET?

The ketogenic diet (often called keto) is a very low-carb, high-fat diet that shares similarities to paleo, Whole30, and Atkins. It involves drastically reducing carbohydrate intake, and replacing it with fat. When your body switches to burning fat for its primary fuel source, that’s when you hit ketosis.

While on the Keto diet you’re supposed to get at least 70 percent of your calories from fat, 15 to 25 percent from protein, and 10 percent from carbohydrates. You’re supposed to avoid all grains, legumes, root vegetables, fruit, (except berries) and sugar.

Recipe Notes for making the Best Low Carb Mac and Cheese:

  • Any type of hard cheese can be used for this recipe. If you prefer the sharp taste of cheddar cheese, feel free to switch it out.
  • The steamed/boiled cauliflower should be as dry as possible, to keep the sauce from getting too watery.
  • Frozen, then thawed and very well drained spinach can be used in place of the fresh spinach.
