This was the second December recipe for Barefoot Bloggers, and I thought it was very good! We got a large package of extra large mushrooms, but ended up with about 14 instead of the 16 stated in the recipe. So, ours are a bit over-stuffed, but still excellent. One thing I noticed is that the mushrooms had a very good texture. I think back to eating stuffed mushrooms as appetizers at parties or events, and always remember biting into the mushroom and having liquid gush out. That did not happen with these mushrooms. Maybe it was the soaking in olive oil and sherry that helped, but it was nice not to have to worry about getting mushroom juice squirted out at you, since, inevitably it would wind up all over my clothes and make me look like a slob! :-) We used a chicken/turkey italian sausage instead of pork based, and I think it was a great substitution. We'd definitely make these again as appetizers, or as a side to a nice steak and salad.

Yours look delicious! We wish that we could have found larger mushrooms, but the store only had tiny buttons and we aren't huge portabella fans. Great job on your blog:)
