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!
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.
This recipe for Pepperoni Pizza Stuffed Mushrooms requires few ingredients, is simple to make, and tastes great. 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!
