How To Make Smoked Stuffed Mushrooms

Step 1: Remove stems. Remove the stems from each of the mushrooms. Place the mushroom caps on a cookie sheet lined with foil and set the stems aside on a cutting board.

Step 2: Prepare stems. Dice the stems and place them in a skillet on your stove over medium heat. Add butter to the skillet and cook the stems for about five minutes.

Step 3: Sauté. Once the stems are slightly browned, add a clove of minced garlic and a stalk or two of minced green onion to the skillet. Continue to cook for another minute or two, stirring occasionally.

Remove the skillet from the stove when the mushroom stems and garlic are fully cooked. Transfer the mushrooms and garlic to a small bowl and place it in your freezer to cool down. This will prevent it from overheating the mushroom caps when added later.

Step 4: Make filling. Mix the cream cheese, grated parmesan cheese, and shredded cheddar cheese in a small bowl. Once the cooked mushroom stems and garlic have cooled down, add them to the cream cheese mixture. Add red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper to taste. 

Step 5: Fill mushrooms. Spoon the mixture into each mushroom cap, filling them generously. Brush each of the stuffed mushrooms with melted butter and lemon juice before cooking. 

Step 6: Smoke. Turn on your Traeger. Once the smoke rolls, increase the temperature to 350 degrees and place the cookie sheet inside the smoker. Allow the mushrooms to cook for approximately 20 minutes, then remove them from the smoker. They are ready to be enjoyed after letting them cool for a few minutes!

Ingredients

• 1 pound whole crimini mushrooms
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1 clove garlic minced
• 2 stalks green onion chopped
• 8 ounces cream cheese softened
• ¼ cup parmesan cheese grated
• ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• pinch salt and pepper
• pinch red pepper flakes optional

Instructions

• Carefully snap the stems off of each mushroom. Put the mushroom caps on a foil-lined cookie sheet, and place the stems on a cutting board.
• Once all of the stems are removed, dice them up and put in a skillet on your stove over medium heat. Add a tablespoon of butter, and let the stems cook for about five minutes.
• Add a clove of minced garlic to the mushrooms, along with a stalk or two of chopped green onion and continue to cook for another minute or two. When the mushroom stems and garlic are done cooking remove the skillet from the stove, and put the mushrooms and garlic in a small bowl and place in your freezer. You want to cool this down before adding to your mushroom caps.
• In a small bowl combine the cream cheese, grated parmesan cheese, and shredded cheddar cheese.
• When the cooked mushroom stems and garlic has cooled down add that to the cheese mixture. Sprinkle in a few red pepper flakes and some salt and pepper, and then scoop a little bit of the mixture into each of the mushroom caps. Your caps might be heaping over with the cheese mixture, and that's ok.
• Brush each of the mushrooms with melted butter and lemon juice.
• Turn on your Traeger to smoke. When the smoke is rolling turn the temp up to 350 and put the cookie sheet in the smoker.
• Let the mushrooms cook for about 20 minutes and then remove from the smoker. Let them cool for a few minutes, and enjoy!
