ITALIAN STUFFED MUSHROOMS

=========================

1 lb hot Italian sausage

1 slice finely chopped onion

1/2 green pepper, finely diced

1/4 tsp garlic powder

1/4 cup dry bread crumbs

dash of pepper

1/4 tsp salt

ca. 1 1/4 cups spaghetti sauce

40 large mushroom caps

oil

mozzarella cheese

-------------

Cook Italian sausage, onion, green pepper, garlic powder, and a

handful of mushroom stems, finely chopped, in a skillet, then drain

fat. (It's best if you put meat mixture into a food processor with

steel blade at this point to give meat a finer texture. Just process

for about 5 seconds or less.) Then add bread crumbs, pepper, salt,

and spaghetti sauce. Coat mushroom caps with oil. Fill mushroom caps

with meat mixture. Cover with foil and bake at 350 about 20 minutes.

Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese, then broil until cheese is melted and

mushrooms are tender. (Or loosely cover with wax paper and

microwave.)
