How To Make Carrabba’s Italian Grill Stuffed Mushrooms Parmigiana Recipe

Step One: Clean the mushrooms, remove the stems, and finely chop the stems for the filling. Set the mushroom caps aside.

Step Two: In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the chopped onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic until softened. Add the diced pepperoni and mushroom stems, cooking for another 2-3 minutes. Transfer the cooked mixture to a bowl and stir in crushed Ritz crackers, Parmesan cheese, parsley, seasoned salt, black pepper, and dried oregano. Add chicken broth as needed to moisten the mixture.

Step Three: Spoon the filling into each mushroom cap, pressing gently to pack it in.

Step Four: Set your air fryer temperature to 375 degrees F (190°C) and allow it to preheat for a few minutes. Arrange the stuffed mushrooms in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Set cook time for 8-10 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and the mushrooms are tender. (Optional) Remove the mushrooms, drizzle them with the Carrabba’s Italian Grill Tomato Cream Sauce, and serve warm.

Carrabba’s Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms Recipe Tips

• Choose the Right Mushrooms: Select large, firm mushrooms with a smooth cap that will hold the stuffing well. Button or cremini mushrooms work best for stuffing.
• Customize the Sausage: Use your favorite sausage—Italian sausage, mild or spicy, adds great flavor. You can also try turkey sausage for a lighter option.
• Prep Ahead: You can prepare the filling and stuff the mushrooms a few hours in advance. Simply refrigerate until ready to bake or air fry.
• Don’t Overstuff: Be sure not to overfill the mushrooms, as the stuffing needs to stay in place while cooking. Leave a little room for the stuffing to puff up.
• Air Fry for Extra Crispiness: If using an air fryer, it helps to lightly spray the stuffed mushrooms with olive oil before cooking for a crispy golden top. Flip them halfway through to ensure even cooking.

Storing

• Storing: Store leftover stuffed mushrooms in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Make sure to allow them to cool completely before refrigerating.
• Freezing: To freeze, place the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet in a single layer, freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer-safe container or bag. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 months.
• Reheating: Reheat the stuffed mushrooms in the oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes until heated through. Alternatively, use an air fryer at 375°F for 5-7 minutes for a crispy finish.
