Are you like me, always on the lookout for easy appetizers that friends and family will love?

I am proud to be partnering with Kerrygold and Martha Stewart Living for this sponsored post. As always, all opinions are 100% my own.

There are some appetizers that Ive made that are just, how shall I say it, eh?
Not that I wouldnt make them again, cause I would, they just didnt just excite my taste buds.

Then there are ones just like this recipe Im sharing today, and these Cranberry Pecan Goat Cheese Bites that are really out of this world delicious.
Theyre appetizers that are so yummy that I dont want to serve them just as appetizers. They deserve to be shared with family and friends more often, like as a side for dinner even!

You can do this.
Who says that appetizers are just for parties, Game Days or potlucks?
Pshaw, people!

Theres something special about Kerrygold cheese.
Its creamy and so very flavorful.

The milk used to make all of the Kerrygold cheese and Pure Irish Butter is provided from grass-fed cows raised on small family-owned farms in Ireland.
Grazing in lush green pastures, these cows live in a mild climate with abundant rainfall.

How do you make Baked Stuffed Mushrooms?

Prepare a rimmed baking sheet by lining it with parchment and preheat your oven to 450F. The parchment will help absorb some of the moisture from the mushrooms as they bake.
Remove the stems from the mushrooms and using a damp paper towel, gently rub to clean them off.
Saute the onion and garlic in a medium skillet over medium heat in the tablespoon of Kerrygold Pure Irish Butter. Add the bulk sausage, breaking it apart as it cooks. Season with the freshly chopped sage and thyme, and Cajun seasoning. Feel free to add more or less seasoning to suit your taste.
In a medium bowl, place the cream cheese and grated Kerrygold Skellig cheese. Add the sausage and mix with a rubber spatula until well combined.
Place a portion of the mixture into each mushroom until evenly distributed. Sprinkle with the Kerrygold Shredded Savory Cheddar.
Bake for 8 10 minutes.
Remove to a plate lined with a paper towel to drain and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.

Can these Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms be made ahead of time?

Yes, they can!
This recipe can be prepared before you bake it.
Place the filled mushrooms on the baking sheet and cover them with plastic wrap up to a day before you bake them.
I appreciate that I can save time by making some recipes ahead of time, like this Jalapeo Ranch Dip because it helps to ease any anxiety I might have to finish everything before guests arrive.

Can this mushroom appetizer be frozen?

Yes, you can freeze them.
Stuff the unbaked mushrooms and freeze them in a tightly sealed container. Then thaw and bake them later.
OR, bake the mushrooms, store them in a tightly sealed container and reheat them before serving.

Every party needs at least one dip. You cant go wrong when you serve this Beer Cheese Dip and Homemade Pretzel Bites. It really is a flavorful match made in heaven.

Sliced veggies and pita chips are perfect accompaniments to thisRoasted Garlic Hummus. Its a recipe that Ill be digging into all night long!

One of the most popular recipes on the site is this Taco Braid. It might be classified as a main dish, but that doesnt mean you cant serve it at a potluck or get together.
Speaking of Mexican, thisTaco Dip is a favorite and goes quickly. You definitely need to have plenty of chips on hand otherwise people wont be shy about using their fingers. Trust me.
