Sausage & Rice Stuffed Portabellas

We came across this recipe while food shopping in Publix last week. They were doing a demo on it & we got to taste it. Obviously it's delicious because here I am sharing it ;)

4 whole portabella mushrooms
2 tbsp fresh Italian parsley coarsely chopped
2-3 links of mild Italian (chicken or pork) sausage
1 (8.8oz) pouch of pre-cooked brown rice (Uncle Ben's makes a microwaveable pouch) or you can make your own
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup Gorgonzola cheese
1/4 cup whipped cream cheese
1 1/2 cups of tomato basil sauce

Preheat oven to 400
Remove stems & gills from mushrooms being careful not to break them
chop the parsley
remove the casing from the sausage

1. Preheat a large saute' pan on medium for 2-3 minutes. Put the sausage in the pan to cook. Cook for 3-4 minutes stirring to crumble the sausage or until no pink remains.
2. Remove pan from heat.
3. Stir in the rice, parsley, both cheeses & cream cheese.
4. Fill the mushrooms with the sausage mixture.
5. Place them on a baking sheet & bake for 10-12 minutes or until they're hot & the cheese is melted.
6. Serve the pasta sauce with mushrooms.

Add a salad & the meal is complete!
