Bratwurst-Stuffed Mushrooms

I glanced into the fridge while trying to think of something for dinner, and noticed that I had a few bratwurst leftover from a recent cookout. I was going to just slice them and serve them with some spicy mustard for dipping, but I wanted something a bit more… different. So I added them to some portobella caps along with a few other goodies. I served these bratwurst-stuffed mushrooms as a main dish, but you could size them down, using smaller mushrooms, and serve them as appetizers.

Bratwurst-Stuffed Mushrooms

To make these bratwurst-stuffed mushrooms even more incredible, grill them over indirect heat on a cedar plank that has been soaked in water ahead of time for 30 minutes. The cedar really adds an amazing flavor. You can also substitute other types of sausage, like andouille (my favorite), Spanish chorizo, or smoked sausage.

My Buffalo chicken stuffed mushrooms are good too! Give them a try!
