Combine mushroom/butter/onion mixture with breadcrumbs, crumbled bacon, hot pepper sauce & sherry. Add pepper, parsley and ginger. Mix well.

I haven't tried the 2nd recipe but it looks tasty. The first one is divine.  Stuffed mushrooms work well in the microwave because they don't loose their shape. - If you get the small button mushrooms they are great for 

finger food. The larger ones are excellent for an entree or a component of the main.They are quite filling!

Happy cooking everyone!
