If you’re craving something cozy, Stuffed Mushrooms Casserole delivers big-time flavor with minimal fuss. This dish transforms the classic party appetizer into a bubbling, golden, scoopable side that fits right in at a holiday feast—or honestly, any dinner that needs a little extra wow.
Creamy. Garlicky. Buttery. Topped with a crisp, toasty layer of panko and cheese. It’s the kind of side that quietly steals attention from the main course.
Let’s break it down in a fresh way.
Ingredients
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, split
- 1½ pounds cremini mushrooms, cut into quarters
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella
- 1½ cups panko breadcrumbs
- ½ cup grated Parmesan
Instructions
- Start by heating your oven to 350°F so it’s ready to go.
- Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and melt half of the butter. Once it’s hot and shimmering, add the mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper right away.
- Cook the mushrooms for about 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Let them brown properly—don’t rush this step. You want them deeply golden and slightly caramelized. That’s where the flavor builds.
- Toss in the minced garlic and stir for about 30 seconds, just until fragrant. Turn off the heat.
- Transfer the sautéed mushrooms into a 2-quart baking dish and spread them evenly across the bottom.
- In a separate mixing bowl, combine the remaining butter with the cream cheese, sour cream, mozzarella, panko breadcrumbs, and Parmesan. Stir until everything blends into a thick, cheesy mixture.
- Spoon this mixture over the mushrooms in small dollops, spacing them across the surface so it melts evenly as it bakes.
- Slide the dish into the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. When the top turns beautifully golden brown and slightly crisp, it’s ready.
- Let it rest for a few minutes before serving—then dig in.
- Creamy center. Crunchy top. Pure comfort.
