CRAB STUFFED MUSHROOMS

Category: Stuffed Mushrooms

12 large fresh mushrooms, stems removed
1 (6 ounce) package dry stuffing mix (any kind)
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 pound crabmeat, flaked
2 cups butter
2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
Salt and pepper to taste
Garlic powder to taste
Sliced green onions for garnish (optional)

Arrange mushroom caps on a medium baking sheet, bottoms up. Chop and reserve mushroom stems.

Prepare dry stuffing mix according to package directions.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Mix in garlic and cook until tender, about 5 minutes.

In a medium bowl, mix together reserved mushroom stems, prepared dry stuffing mix, cream cheese and crabmeat. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to your tastes. Form mixture into small meatballs and stuff mushrooms with the mixture. Drizzle with the garlic butter.

Bake uncovered in the preheated oven 10 to 12 minutes, or until stuffing is lightly browned.
