Nance’s Stuffed Mushrooms

About 20 years ago, my friend Nancy Tilton and I didn’t have a lot of money – but we loved parties and were happiest when our homes were filled with happy friends.  Nancy created this recipe that we tweaked here and there.  I entered it in a contest (sponsored by one of the sherry producers) and we won an honorable mention.  This recipe is easy to make, inexpensive, and always a hit.

Nance’s Stuffed Mushrooms 

Ingredients:                                                                                                  
24 medium mushrooms
1/2 stick butter
1 large onion, chopped fine
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan or Romano cheese
1/2 cup sherry
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions:
Clean mushrooms with a damp cloth.  Remove stems and chop.  Combine chopped stems, onion, pepper, oregano, bread crumbs and garlic powder.  Saute in melted butter 5 minutes.  Add sherry and simmer 5/10 minutes more.  Butter mushroom caps.  Stuff mushrooms with chopped mixture and sprinkle with cheese.

Bake at 300 degrees for 15-20 minutes.  Yummy!
(You can make these well in advance of your party and just pop them in the oven when you are ready.)
