Easy stuffed mushrooms stuffed with andouille sausage, veggies, and white cheddar cheese! Bite-sized party food at it's best!

Christmas is officially in our rear view while New Years Eve is on the horizon.  I love New Years Eve!  We have a special family tradition of watching movies, playing games and having snacks for dinner!  I love appetizers almost as much as I love dessert, so to be able to call snacks my dinner is a dream come true!

Each family member requests their favorite snacks.  My son loves beer cheese, my oldest insists upon bacon wrapped potatoes while my youngest asks for pretzel bites.  I'm only too happy to oblige.  What's my favorite? Anything topped with crunchy breading; that's what!  Breadcrumb toppings are the best!  I admit, I'm the kind of person who picks off the crunchy bread crumb topping to eat first!  It's just like eating the cupcakes: I start with the best part and work my way down.

I usually run to Walmart for my General Mills@ Progresso™ Bread Crumbs each time I make recipes like this Cajun Shrimp Mac and Cheese or when I make the meatballs for comfort food like this Easy Vegetable Soup!  These recipes, as well as my easy stuffed mushrooms, are just a few examples of how versatile breadcrumbs can be.  I always have Progresso™ Bread Crumbs in my pantry because I love the ease and flavor these breadcrumbs bring to my recipes.  They taste homemade with no effort on my part!

These easy stuffed mushrooms have everything I love in an appetizer.  They are easy to assemble and are made with ingredients that can be found in your grocery store.  Each mushroom gets filled with savory andouille sausage, crisp veggies, and white cheddar cheese.  And like all good comfort food, each little mushroom is topped with a buttery breadcrumb topping that gives these little guys the perfect crunch.  These stuffed mushrooms are tender and flavorful; they would be a fabulous addition to your New Years Eve appetizer line up.
