Cheddar Stuffed Mushrooms *

 16 oz fresh whole baby portabella mushrooms, cleaned

3/4 cup herb stuffing mix

2 oz shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup butter, melted

1 tsp onion powder

Heat oven to 350.  Remove stems from mushrooms; reserve caps.  Finely chop half of the stems.  In a small bowl, combine chopped mushroom stems, stuffing mix, cheese, butter, and onion.  Mix well.  Spoon about 1 tsp mushroom mixture into each mushroom cap (can add more to mushrooms if they can hold it and stay upright on tray).  Place on ungreased cookie sheet.  Bake at 350 for 9-11 minutes or until thoroughly heated.  Serve warm.

Makes 20-30 appetizers
