Pepperoni Pizza Stuffed Mushrooms
Very soon we’ll start adding plenty of get-togethers to our schedule, it’s the time of year for good cheer with family and friends! On the heels of my Bacon Stuffed Mushrooms appetizer recipe, this is a new and delicious spin.
Oftentimes these get-togethers are appetizer themed, so whether you are going to one and taking a sampling with you {or hosting your own party}, you’ll need a good bunch of appetizer recipes in your repertoire, like this Pizza Monkey Bread recipe that is simply to die for!

This recipe for Pepperoni Pizza Stuffed Mushrooms requires few ingredients, is simple to make, and tastes great. It’s a spinoff of an appetizer or easy lunch that I like to make, Pizza Buns!
I find a lot of my stuffed mushroom go-to’s are creme cheese and seafood based, so having this twist is great to have on hand.
Pepperoni Pizza Stuffed Mushrooms is very kid-friendly, and does taste just like biting into a pepperoni pizza. It’s definitely one that most people will enjoy, which makes it a safe go-to for gatherings.
Plus, the mushrooms can be stuffed ahead of time and refrigerated up to 4 hours. So you can make it ahead of time, get ready for your outing and then bake just as you’re walking out the door.
Likewise, since it’s a short baking time, you could arrange to quickly bake at the hosts home, so that they are fresh and hot for guests to enjoy.
It’s one of those easy hot appetizer recipes that you’ll make time and again!
