The recipe starts with 8-12 baby bellas. I used more because I'm an over-achiever. (I'll stop here and let you snicker a bit)
Gather up some minced garlic (1/2 tsp), garlic salt (1/8 tsp), oregano (1 tsp), melted butter (1 tbsp), and one green onion finely chopped. I should mention here that I doubled everything since I had more mushrooms than the recipe called for.
I added bacon! (a large handful) Bacon makes me happy.
To this add grated Parmesan (2 tbsp), grated Romano (1 tbsp), and grated mozzarella (2 tbsp), and mix all together.
Turn the little babies over and viciously rip out the stems. I use a lot of paper towels when I make stuff. Please don't tell anyone from Greenpeace.
RR says I shouldn't wash my mushrooms, but she's already lost my trust, so these guys got a bath.
Gather up some minced garlic (1/2 tsp), garlic salt (1/8 tsp), oregano (1 tsp), melted butter (1 tbsp), and one green onion finely chopped. I should mention here that I doubled everything since I had more mushrooms than the recipe called for.At this point the recipe says to add 6 oz of canned clams and save the juice, but I don't do clams. But if it makes you happy, then throw them in.
I added bacon! (a large handful) Bacon makes me happy.
Now we are to add Italian bread crumbs (1/2 cup), 1 beaten egg, and 1/4 cup clam juice. Well, I don't really like clam juice much more than I like clams so I had to come up with a substitution. I was thinking chicken broth, but didn't have any. I had some 3 day old cold coffee sitting here, or maybe some fruit punch flavored Crystal Light? Then I spotted a bottle of white wine and decided that was my best option.
To this add grated Parmesan (2 tbsp), grated Romano (1 tbsp), and grated mozzarella (2 tbsp), and mix all together. 
Place approximately 1 1/2 teaspoons of the stuffing mixture inside mushroom cavity and slightly mound. Place the stuffed mushrooms in slightly oiled baking dish and pour 1/4 cup melted butter over the top of the mushrooms. Cover and place in oven for about 35- 40 minutes. Remove cover; sprinkle 1/4 cup freshly grated mozzarella cheese on top and pop back in oven just so the cheese melts slightly. 
The finished product. My review: meh, they're ok.

Love stuffed mushrooms.
You can peel the outside skin - that removes soil without having to wash them.
Try blue cheese and cooked leeks inside. Just those two things. Oh maybe bacon too. With the breadcrumbs it might be a bit too bready.
I made stuffed mushrooms saturday night. I'll have to give these a try. Still have some mushrooms!
Have a great day!
What didn't you like about them?
I dunno...I didn't NOT like them. Just didn't make me leap for joy or anything :)
Hi Julie! Thanks for visiting my blog! I love stuffed mushrooms and am always looking for variations on them. Even though you didn't love these I like the flavors happening here!
They look great though!
Mmmm these look good. I've had olive garden's stuffed mushrooms and I'm definitely gonna try these. Thaks for the recipe. Also thanks for stoppin' by my blog. I've been readin' yours and you have a great blog.
I'm livin' in SW MO, about 45 minutes east of Springfield. The Ozarks are a great place to live. We drive down into Arkansas a lot, it's a beautiful state too.
I love your blog! I suddenly feel inspired to get in the kitchen and cook something yummy after looking at your pictures!
Oh come on, they were better than okay weren't they?
I love the smell of mushrooms, just can't handle the texture - yours look good though!
I have to admit when I ate these, I wasn't truly hungry from too much sampling while I made these and that stupid cheese stuff. They really weren't too bad (heck, they had bacon in them), I just wasn't quite in the mood.
Too bad they weren't great, they sure look good!
Just okay? Oh man, I love a good stuffed mushroom. And I just wanted to tell you that you are one of the cool kids. :)
Haha...Me cool? I have somebody fooled :P
Hey Welcome Wagon SITSta! You had me at Olive Garden.. which was good because you are freekin' hysterical lol. Love your humor.
My guess is they needed some clams. And maybe a little reserved juice.
That thought did cross my mind.
I think my husband would love those, I'll have to give it a try sometime! Those pics are so helpful, makes me think I might be able to do it since I am a visual learner!
Those look great....
Thanks for the warm welcome to SITS..
Come by any time..
I've never heard of Joann's..
You are hilarious. I might give these a try I like the look of them!
These might cause me to try mushrooms. They look pretty good and not real scary.
Um... something about mushrooms... sorry, can't get past your banner pic. As soon as they popped up I had to fight from licking the screen.
I'll just pretend I don't hate mushrooms and say they look delicious! (not)
I checked out some of your other recipes though and they really DO look delicious! LOL!
