These Grilled Stuffed Mushrooms are the perfect appetizer!
Hi Friends!
When I was in Chicago last weekend, my mom told me she never thought she’d see the day that my hubby would buy a gas grill…but that she thought it was probably one of the best investments we could have made, especially with the baby coming.
My in-laws are total charcoal grillers…and that’s what my hubby grew up with. I grew up with a gas grill but never really used it myself. When we moved into our house, we found someone giving away a charcoal grill for free in our neighborhood and that was that. We definitely got some use out of it…but probably not as much as we could have.
Now that we’ve had our gas grill for a couple of weeks now, I’m realizing that even you don’t get quite the same grill flavor, it was definitely worth the money. I rarely lit the charcoal grill because it was such a hassle…but this one is so easy! We’re finding ourselves using it several times a week. It’s just as easy as turning on the oven…and more fun in my opinion 🙂
So far this week we’ve made cedar plank salmon, chicken and stuffed mushrooms on the grill! Today we’re going to talk about the mushrooms. These little guys were all Mr. Bean’s idea! We actually made them on a cedar plank, but we didn’t soak it very long so they picked up a pretty strong cedar flavor. If you’re not into that, soak the board longer or just buy the larger “stuffer” portobello mushrooms like we did and you can put them right on the grill racks!
Here’s the recipe:

Feel free to use ground turkey or chicken if beef isn’t your thing!

I’m mot a grill lover in general but I do LOVE me some stuffed mushrooms!
We used to have a small charcoal grill but now we just have our big gas one. But there is something about grilling on a charcoal! Im hoping to pick up a cheap one soon!
We have both a charcoal and a gas. We actually do use the gas more but that is up to him. I love stuffed mushrooms. When I used to live in VA, we used to do crab stuffed which was so good.
oooh that sounds delish!
These look so adorable! they look especially great for a cookout appetizer! so Fun! I prefer a gas grill, I think it’s easier and faster!
We are definitely charcoal lovers! My husband is the griller in our household and now that summer is here, we grill almost every weekend. This stuffed mushrooms sound delicious and I think we’d both love them!
I grew up with charcoal grill and that’s what we have now. I agree – we don’t use it as often as I’d like because it is a pain to light up but tastes to much better than gas. I’d switch to gas but we don’t have a great backyard area to set it up or even eat out. A girl can dream though…..
someday! or come visit me 🙂
I love grilling. My husband prefers charcoal and actually went out and bought himself a little mini charcoal grill. I’ll stick with the gas since I do most of the grilling anyway! Love the idea of grilling the stuffed mushrooms and could so easily make these vegetarian. MMMM
So happy about your grill! I couldn’t live without mine – never turn on the oven in the summer. These mushrooms are a great summer BBQ idea – thanks 🙂
THis is an ongoing debate in our house too. S loves the charcoal, I’m ok with gas. It is so much easier to use! Those mushrooms look pretty yummy
I love the convenience of a gas grill… so much easier/faster. But there is something about charcoal, right?
there’s definitely something about it 🙂
I’m loving mushrooms right now. We just have grill tins that go in the oven. I’m not sure they’re such a big thing over in the UK!
I want these- yum!! We use a charcoal grill but I’ve been trying to convince my husband we should get a gas grill… so much easier, like you said.
definitely more convenient!
Grilling stuffed mushrooms? I like it! We turn to our grill during the summer months for almost every dinner.
Yum!! I wish my boyfriend liked mushrooms. And I wish that we had a grill. Two things on my wish list this year!
i’d wish harder for the grill 😉
These look delicious!
I made these on Sunday in the oven instead of the grill (got to love apartment living); they were a huge hit! 🙂 Thanks so much, I’ve tried several of your recipes and love them all!!
i’m so glad you liked them!!
