This recipe easily doubles for a party. You can prepare mushrooms up to 4 hours ahead. Refrigerate, loosely covered with plastic wrap, until ready to bake.

### DIRECTIONS
**1.** Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a large baking sheet. Remove and chop mushroom stems, reserving caps.
**2.** Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat; add sausage. Cook until browned and crumbly, about 5 minutes; drain. Stir mushroom stems, bread crumbs and 1/4 cup mozzarella into skillet.
**3.** Remove skillet from heat. Spoon sausage mixture into mushroom caps. Arrange stuffed mushrooms on prepared baking sheet.
**4.** Top mushrooms with remaining mozzarella. Bake until stuffing is hot, about 15 minutes. Place on a serving platter. Garnish with parsley.

### Make It Quicker
* To save time, microwave the stuffed mushrooms. Use a microwave-safe plate instead of a baking sheet. Cover mushrooms with plastic wrap and microwave on HIGH for 5 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
