I love these and every year, my family waits for them. This year, I added a few extras. After reading the reviews, I realized old bay and less parsley are a "must", but I also added sauteed garlic and onions. My kids don't like onions, so cooking them down in a frying pan with garlic first, makes a great additive. Also- I had about 1/2 cup of Mexican cheese that I mixed in and it added a great taste. Oh! and after they were done cooking, I set my oven to "broil" on high for 2 min, to make sure they browned. Needless to say, I barely made it through the door when my mushrooms were devoured!

I made this recipe using just two big mushrooms as an entree for dinner. My only problem was the mushrooms fell completely flat in the oven...it had nothing to do with the actual recipe, which is great.
I used extra crab and probably a lot of extra cheese. I think the parsley amount was too much so if you are unsure, start with half the amount. It is definitely a recipe you can add things to as you taste it. I also took advice from other reviews and used Old Bay Seasoning and Onion/Chive cream cheese.

This would also work well as a dip with crackers or a baguette!

After reading the reviews, I added some Old Bay to the filling and it really worked! I also used panko and butter on the top and they really browned nicely. My 8 year old granddaughter asked me to make the filling as a dip - sounds like a good idea. Thanks Paula, this is a keeper!

I have made these for the past 2 years and I don't think I could get away with not making them. They are the hit of every get together. I like making them in bella mushroom caps. GREAT recipe!

I made it this weekend along with a creole shrimp recipe they went well together but the stuffing was bland not much flavor.

I don't see how anyone could say this recipe is bland unless they just did not use the seasonings correctly.
My husband and I are very particular about our mushrooms, especially stuffed mushrooms, and we absolutely love this recipe. I too used a colby/jack blend, but also used the parmesan. Hubby loves cheese.
I think next time, I'll try the Old Bay seasoning that someone else suggested and see how that goes!

Thanks Paula!

I did this recipe for a gathering of friends to nibble on while the steaks were cooking. Everyone loved them. I had to make enough for about 20 people so I had about 60 mushrooms to stuff. The only thing different that I did was poached some catfish fillets and added it to the crab to ensure there was enough meat in there. I used the extra crab stuffing, added more cream cheese and made a dip out of it.

Great recipe.

This is a quick & easy recipe, especially since you don't have to cook the filling before stuffing the crabs. There was blueshell crabmeat in the freezer from some crabs we steamed a few weeks ago. So, that's what I used. I think the other ingredients masked the crab rather than enhancing it. Surprisingly, I prefer my stand-by stuffed mushroom recipe which just has herbs, onions, mushroom stems, olive oil, and finely cubed bread in the filling. Won't make this one again.

This recipe exceeded my expectations! The only thing I did differently was use fresh garlic and added some lemon zest. It really made the flavor bright and fresh. Two of my seven kids won't look at any kind of fish or shellfish and they gobbled the mushrooms up! YEAH! I will make these again and again. Thanks Paula!
