Chili-Stuffed Mushrooms on the Char-Broil Big Easy

Note: This recipe was developed using the Char-Broil Big Easy Oil-Less Fryer. If you are cooking using the Char-Broil Smoker-Roaster Grill you should cook with the lid open and the temperature set to High. You might also need to adjust the cooking time.

Well now, these were different! I’d never thought of making chili-stuffed mushrooms on the Char-Broil Big Easy. Not even in my dreams, where sometimes odd food things can happen. I have to say, they’re quite the addicting little bites. Further proof that the Char-Broil Big Easy isn’t just for poultry (but let’s face it, it does one heck of a good job at that!).

Chili-Stuffed Mushrooms on the Char-Broil Big Easy

You could definitely spice up your version of chili-stuffed mushrooms on the Char-Broil Big Easy. Use a spicy chili (you probably saw that coming) and shredded habanero jack cheese. Top the mushrooms with jalapeno just before serving. That’ll get the party going!

The bunk bed basket lets you double the amount of cooking space you have on your Big Easy. And it’s easy to take in and out of the cooker too!

Also try my pesto-stuffed mushrooms on the Big Easy.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Fire up your Big Easy.
  • Combine the chili, cream cheese, and 1/4 cup of cheddar. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Spoon mixture into the center of the mushrooms. Push it in (gently) to fill the cavity. It’s ok to mound it up a good bit too.
  • Transfer the mushrooms to the Big Easy basket and the Bunk Bed Basket.
  • Place into the Big Easy and cook until the mushrooms are starting to soften, about 15 minutes.
  • You can add the cheese now and return the mushrooms to the Big Easy to melt it, or remove them, transfer to a platter and sprinkle with more cheese.

Dilly Dilly Grilled Mushrooms

Here lately I’ve been bound and determined to up my grilled side dish game. It’s been lacking, I admit. Nothing could possibly be easier than these dilly dilly grilled mushrooms. And very few things could be as addictingly tasty. I love mushrooms to begin with, and I’ve always been a fan of dill. Now, I get all that plus buttery goodness and a bit of salty garlic flavors. I like the butter mixture so much that I usually double it, making sure that I get plenty of it down into the gills of the mushrooms as they cook over an open fire.

Dilly Dilly Grilled Mushrooms

You could actually substitute your favorite herb or spice for the dill for something different when you make some dilly dilly grilled mushrooms. Red pepper flakes are an awesome change. Same goes for oregano, basil or, believe it or not, smoked paprika. You’ll never eat boring mushrooms again, but if you prefer something with a bit of a kick, try my spicy grilled mushrooms too! And my version of Michael Chiarello’s best button mushrooms is out of this world also!

I recommend that you use a grill basket when making this dish. I makes cooking easier and you don’t have to worry about anything falling through the grates. And cleanup is easier too!

Easy Marinated Mushrooms

These easy marinated mushrooms are some of the most addicting little bites I’ve ever made. Easy is right, too. They take no time at all to make. They are packed with flavor, a little sweet, a little heat and a bit of vinegar kick. I can guarantee that you will want to at least double the recipe because you won’t be able to stop eating them.

Easy Marinated Mushrooms

I used a mix of white button and cremini mushrooms, but you can use any mix of mushrooms you like. You do want to make sure you use mushrooms that are all about the same size or some will cook faster than others. You want them to all be cooked the same, not some soft and some not.

The marinade for these easy mushrooms is very good. I plan on using it for other dishes, including as a marinade for chicken.

Also try my garlic ricotta stuffed mushrooms and my easy marinated cheeses (delicious!).

Bistro Burger Version 2.0

Any good bistro has a good bistro burger. And there are as many variations as there are bistros. My first favorite bistro burger was loaded with lettuce, fried egg, bacon, and a whole bunch of other things. Version 2.0 of the bistro burger takes a little simpler approach, combining delicious grilled mushrooms and onion with a fantastic sauce. This is one messy burger and that’s a good thing. I’ve always said “The messier it is, the better it’s going to be.”

Bistro Burger Version 2

The sauce absolutely paired beautifully with the burger. It’s so good that I doubled the sauce recipe.

I’m a casual fan of horseradish, which means it can easily become too strong for me if there is too much of it in a dish. The amount of horseradish in the sauce on these burgers was just right for me. The same sauce now finds its way onto wraps and sandwiches in our household. It’s just that good.

I like to use a burger press when I make burgers. It, in combination with some patty papers, enables me to crank out a whole bunch of equally-sized burger patties in no time at all with little cleanup.

Don’t like horseradish? Try my other burgers version. It’s a little tamer but oh so good.

Spicy Grilled Mushrooms

At first I thought maybe I just loved these spicy grilled mushrooms so much because I hadn’t grilled mushrooms in a while. Or maybe it was because of the full moon. But no, it was because these are now officially my favorite mushrooms. They have a perfect light Asian-inspired flavor, with a little vinegar tang and, as with everything I make, a little spicy kick. My goodness they were just delicious. I could (and did) eat them just like popcorn!

Spicy Grilled Mushrooms

I used cremini mushrooms, also known as baby Portobellos to make these spicy grilled mushrooms. You can use any mushrooms you like, even mix a few different kinds in. Just remember that the smaller ones will cook faster. You might have to move the smaller mushrooms away from the hottest part of your grill before the bigger ones get done.

I recommend that you use a grill basket when making this dish. It makes cooking easier and you don’t have to worry about anything falling through the grates. And cleanup is easier too!

If you prefer your mushrooms to have a more mellow flavor, try my dilly dilly mushrooms and my easy roasted mushrooms. Oh, and my grilled marinated mushrooms are divine, too!

Herb Roasted Mushrooms on the Char-Broil Big Easy

Note: This recipe was developed using the Char-Broil Big Easy Oil-Less Fryer. If you are cooking using the Char-Broil Smoker-Roaster Grill you should cook with the lid open and the temperature set to High. You might also need to adjust the cooking time.

The cooking rack for the Char-Broil Big Easy (sadly, no longer available!) is a definite must-have accessory for the cooker. I use it to cook everything from French fries to nachos. And yep, even herb roasted mushrooms on the Char-Broil Big Easy. I often remove the racks themselves and add 9″ pie pans (you can leave in the racks and use 8″ or smaller pie pans). Then I’m off and running.

Herb Roasted Mushrooms on the Char-Broil Big Easy

Everything comes out great. And since I have more than one Big Easy I can cook a main dish in one (like fantastic roasted chicken) and a side or two in the other! Score!

I used smaller baby portabella mushrooms but you can use any mushrooms you wish, even mixing up types when you make herb roasted mushrooms on the Char-Broil Big Easy. Just keep in mind that larger mushrooms or mushrooms with thicker caps might take a bit longer to cook. I like to cook my mushrooms cap-side down. The juices stay inside the cap, keeping the mushrooms nice and moist.

Also try my pesto stuffed mushrooms, made on the Big Easy!

Dehydrated Mushrooms on the Nesco Snackmaster Pro

I’ve really been enjoying my dehydrator. I’m always looking for more things to dry, taking advantage of anything in season or fresh. I recently grabbed a few pounds of oyster and shiitake mushrooms with the goal of drying them for later use in stir-fries or soups. I found that drying them is incredibly easy. Rinse, dry, slice (if you want) and dry. Done. Dehydrated mushrooms on the Nesco Snackmaster Pro are amazing.

Dehydrated Mushrooms on the Nesco Snackmaster Pro

I store the dehydrated mushrooms on the Nesco Snackmaster Pro in resealable baggies or Mason jars. Whenever I need them I just grab them and toss them into the dish. If the recipe I’m using them in doesn’t contain a lot of liquid that can be used to re-hydrate the mushrooms I’ll first toss them into some warm water for a few minutes.

If you decide to slice your mushrooms don’t cut them too small. They shrink a lot as they dry, and if you cut them too small they will crumble too easily and can fall thru the holes in the trays on the Nesco Snackmaster Pro. I prefer to keep the mushrooms as whole as possible since you never know how you might use the mushrooms in the end. You can always cut the larger pieces later, but you can’t make the smaller pieces bigger!

I like to load up my dehydrator. To do that I picked up a handful of extra trays. They really add a whole lot more drying space! Since I have to rotate my trays, I write a number on each one on a piece of blue painter’s tape so I can keep track of them.

You can dehydrate darn near anything on a Nesco Snackmaster Pro. Even marshmallows.

Roasted Vegetable Stuffed Mushrooms

These roasted vegetable stuffed mushrooms may be one of my favorite summertime grilling ideas. It doesn’t really matter what vegetables you use, either. Just grab whatever vegetables are in season at the store, roast them on the grill, then spoon them into large mushroom caps. Add a bit of seasoning, a little cheese, place onto a cedar plank over a hot fire, and in no time at all you’ll have a great side dish.

Roasted Vegetable Stuffed Mushrooms

Grilling (I usually use my Weber grill) on cedar planks can be a sensitive subject. Some folks really don’t care for it, others, like me, love it. I like the light flavor the planks can add (I tend to not get my planks super smoky before adding my food). And it looks cool. And it makes the deck area smell great.

I have to admit that I’m cheap, so I re-use planks as much as I can. As long as you don’t burn them too much on one side, you can get a few uses from them. Don’t buy any el cheapo cedar planks for this or any other dish. Get the good stuff and you won’t ever look back. Cheap planks split, warm and have splinters. Good planks are thicker, stay flat and have smoother edges.

Also try my roasted beet and dill cucumber salad.

Instructions

  • Soak the cedar plank in water, if using.
  • Fire up your grill for high-heat cooking.
  • Lightly brush the peppers (I used whole peppers and saved the rest for later use) and corn with oil.
  • Place over high heat and roast, turning often, until lightly charred and just tender.
  • Remove from heat, let cool slightly, then chop the peppers and cut kernels from the ear of corn.
  • Place vegetables into a bowl and season with oregano (if desired) and salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Add the cedar plank and let it get hot and smoky, about 20 minutes.
  • Reduce grill heat to medium.
  • Using a spoon, gently scrape out the gills from the mushrooms.
  • Lightly brush both sides of the mushrooms with oil.
  • Place mushrooms on grill cap side up and grill 3 minutes. The mushrooms will start to sweat, but do not overcook them.
  • Remove from heat and place onto the cedar plank.
  • Spoon the vegetable mix into the mushrooms and place onto the grill.
  • Grill for 20 minutes or until the mushroom is almost tender, watching to make sure the plank doesn’t catch on fire. If it does, spray it with water from a spray bottle.
  • Add cheese and cook another 3-4 minutes until melted.
  • Remove from heat, garnish with chopped cilantro, and serve.

Buffalo Chicken Mushrooms

I made a nice big ole batch of Buffalo chicken on my Char-Broil Big Easy the other day. Nothing beats the kick of moist, shredded, Buffalo chicken. Besides using the chicken in sandwiches, on pizzas, and in wraps, I also used it in a wonderful stuffing for these Buffalo chicken mushrooms.

Although I ended up serving this as a main dish using large mushrooms, the stuffing is perfect in smaller button mushrooms, served up as bite-sized appetizers. They’re full of creamy cheese, celery, carrot and onion, all with the  kick of Buffalo wing sauce.

Buffalo Chicken Mushrooms

Of course, you don’t have to make chicken on the grill to make these delightful Buffalo chicken mushrooms. Any ole Buffalo chicken recipe will do, like my slow cooker version! Serve these mushrooms with my bratwurst stuffed mushrooms for an interesting mix.

I recommend that you use a grill basket when making this dish. It makes cooking easier and you don’t have to worry about anything falling through the grates. And cleanup is easier too!

Pesto Stuffed Mushrooms on the Char-Broil Big Easy

Note: This recipe was developed using the Char-Broil Big Easy Oil-Less Fryer. If you are cooking using the Char-Broil Smoker-Roaster Grill you should cook with the lid open and the temperature set to High. You might also need to adjust the cooking time.

These Pesto Stuffed Mushrooms on the Char-Broil Big Easy were stuffed with what may be the perfect combination of ingredients. Herby pesto. Sweet acidic tomatoes. Crunchy Panko breadcrumbs. And cheese. Parmesan and Asiago. I made the mushrooms on my Char-Broil Big Easy, but you can do them in the oven (at 350 F) or on your gas or charcoal grill just as easily. I used medium-sized Portobello mushrooms, but if you want to serve these as appetizers you can use mini-bellos instead. They’ll disappear off the plate, that’s for sure!

Pesto Stuffed Mushrooms on the Char-Broil Big Easy

If you don’t have sun-dried tomatoes you can substitute diced roasted red bell peppers or pimentos. I really liked the nuttiness of Asiago cheese, but if you find it to be too strong, a nice shredded Mozzarella will work just fine instead.

To make these mushrooms on the Char-Broil Big Easy I used a bunk bed basket. It lets me double or even triple the amount of cooking space I have.

Also try my chili-stuffed mushrooms and my herb roasted mushrooms on the Big Easy.
