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!).
Kick ‘Em Up!
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!

Chili-Stuffed Mushrooms on the Char-Broil Big Easy
Ingredients
- 16 cremini mushrooms stems removed
- ½ cup chili without beans
- ¼ cup cream cheese softened
- ¼ cup cheddar cheese shredded, plus a bit more for topping
- kosher salt to taste
- freshly ground black pepper to taste
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.
