Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Hollow out each mushroom cap and save the insides.

  3. In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook and stir the sausage, onion, and reserved mushroom scrapings until the sausage is browned and fully cooked, which should take about 4 to 6 minutes. Remove and discard any excess grease, then return the sausage mixture to the skillet.

  4. Add 3 ounces of Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, garlic, and parsley to the sausage mixture. Cook and stir until everything is heated through, which should take about 3 to 5 minutes.

  5. Take each mushroom cap and stuff it with the sausage mixture. Place the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet.

  6. Bake the stuffed mushrooms in the preheated oven for 12 minutes.

  7. Sprinkle the remaining 1 ounce of Parmesan cheese over the mushrooms and continue baking until the mushrooms are fully cooked and the cheese is melted and bubbling, which should take about 3 minutes.
