In Japanese homes, one of the most popular dishes is mapo tofu. On the stovetop, cooking is extremely simple, but using a microwave reduces the cooking time in half. This recipe is incredibly difficult to pass up. It constantly tempts me to consume more rice.

Have made this a few times – always turns out great! Family and friends love this recipe. Very easy, delicious.
This is an absolutely FABULOUS recipe, although I changed the ingredients slightly and amounts. I used a 19 oz package of Johnsonville spicy Italian sausage. No need for red pepper flakes or other seasoning with this sausage! I used 2 – 16 oz packages of mushrooms, 1/2 a medium onion, 3 cloves of garlic and doubled the Italian breadcrumbs to 1/2 cup. Also used 2 tblsp of sour cream and 1/4 cup milk because I was out of heavy cream. Topped with freshly grated Parmesan and it was the hit of the party! Everyone was clamoring for the recipe and exclaiming they were the best stuffed mushrooms they had ever had!! Definitely a winning recipe!!
Loved it
Fabulous! These were so easy to make and garnered a marvelous taste. I served them to guest and was asked for the recipe by everyone.
I love this recipe! I made vegetarian by substituting vegetarian crumble for the ground beef … making it again soon
Perfect for parties they go fast!!! I like to make the stuffing a day early to help with prep
Decided to use sweet italian sausage instead of plain burger… so glad I did. Everyone loved them!
This was delicious! The only change I made to the recipe was to use sausage in place of ground beef. It was very simple to make. As other reviewers have stated, there was enough stuffing to make at least 18 mushrooms.
I was looking for a stuffed mushroom recipe without cheese and found this. I also use ground turkey instead of beef. With the richness the heavy cream adds, you don’t miss cheese at all. Great recipe.
My family loved it! Also pretty kid-friendly for making. The girls had fun helping me with it. The only difference I had was using parmesan on some just to try it, but they were absolutely delicious without it!
Using sausage (either pork or turkey) is a huge improvement over ground beef. Also improved by omitting all butter. I pressed a mixture of panko and fresh grated Parmesan onto the top of each filled mushroom then lightly sprayed tops with cooking spray to get a nice crunchy top. Have made several times; never any left over
Fabulous!! Do to a dairy allergy I swapped the cream for unsweetened soy milk, and it was delicious. Also did not use the butter, and used sausage/ground beef mix.
Made this for the first time and it was wonderful! Everyone loved them. I added Montreal Steak Spice to the meat to bring out more flavour.
This recipe is a keeper! My husband loved it! I used ground beef & milk instead of heavy cream & it still tasted great!
We used half hot and half regular sausage, and stuffed into baby portabellas. Followed the recipe exactly otherwise. We love, love, love this. Thank you to the recipe submitter for making me into a mushroom lover!
I loved this recipe. It makes a lot of filling to stuff fairly large crimini caps. In my oven 20 minutes was plenty. I had two mushroom haters in the house. They were sniffingaround the kit hen for the delicious smells. They loved them too!
Amazing recipe! I made only a few changes by adding in a tbl spoon of cream cheese when I added the heavy cream and I topped it with cheese instead of chili powder! I have always used stuffing from the box when making stuffed mushrooms, but this recipe is so simple and amazing, that its the only way I will make them now!
This recipe is delicious, and can be made ahead which is extremely convenient when making these for a party. I made these exactly by the recipe the first time and they were delicious. The second time I made these I made a few changes: used sage pork sausage in lieu of the ground beef and sprinkled gruyere over the top instead of the chili powder. Both recipes were a huge hit! Definitely recommend them to anyone preparing an appetizer for a holiday (or any) party! Edit 12/3/15: I’ve made these many times since my first review. I’ve begun putting the meat mixture through the food processor to make a smooth stuffing for the mushrooms. It also distributes all the flavors throughout the stuffing mixture. My husband is generally very profane in explaining his love for these gems. Definitely give them a try!
I thought these were very delicious! I did alter a couple things, though. I used jimmy deans sage sausage, a just a dash of minced onion and garlic, because the sausage was already flavored. Then instead of the heavy cream, we used cream cheese, (it melted in the pan) because the store was all out of heavy cream! (i guess thats what we get for going on thanksgiving!!) we also added the chili powder into the mix instead of on top, because thats what someone else suggested. very good! 😀 thanks!
My family loved these!! Made them for Christmas Eve as an appetizer, they went FAST!! My husband is already requsting more for Thanksgiving dinner.
excellent, but i used 2 garlic cloves and still not enough
