Stuffed Mushrooms
The stuffed mushrooms at Olive Garden have always been one of my favorite things on their menu. Sometimes I’d just order them with a salad. Yum, yum, yum. I love the flavor in the topping and mushrooms, well, we’re good friends too.
(By the way, I never really thought I would, but I totally miss having an OG around us now. I miss their soup and salad lunches, and their peach tea. And a few other things too, but definitely included are their stuffed mushrooms.)
Until now.
Now please don’t hold me to this because it’s been a few years since I’ve had them, but from what I can remember, these pretty much taste exactly what I remember the Stuffed Mushrooms at Olive Garden tasting like. Bingo.
I couldn’t believe how simple they were to prepare. And with such simple ingredients, comes such great flavor. And I just love it when I can make something just like a restaurant, at home. These would be great for a party, or appetizer for a family dinner, or in our case, just a fun middle-of-the-day snack.
It’s just how we roll.
