Enchilada Stuffed Mushrooms are low carb, cheesy bites of enchilada heaven! Ready to eat in about 30 minutes.
Enchilada Stuffed Mushrooms…You guys. I have a confession. I have a problem. I’m addicted to the ‘shrooms.
No, not the street drug kind…..
{oh you guys!}
The 14.2 pound carton of baby portobello mushrooms you get from Costco. I LOVE mushrooms….and Costco. I clearly cannot be trusted in that store. {Please recall this huge jar of pesto. YEAH.} Why does one need 14.2 pounds of mushrooms? Because they were dirt cheap. That’s why. You guys, I have become a mushroom stuffing FOOL! I just can’t get enough of these little guys!
My obsession started with these Blue Cheese Filled Bacon Wrapped Mushrooms that I made on a whim. The obsession grew with my Pizza Stuffed Mushrooms and now it has morphed into a full on problem because now I have created a monster: Enchilada Stuffed Mushrooms.
Amazing bubbly, cheesy and creamy stuffed mushrooms that magically taste like straight up enchiladas. You don’t know it right now but you absolutely positively need these in your life. I didn’t realize this until I took my first bite of this experiment and just about fainted. Fainted from pure bliss and joy. Ooey gooey, spicy and delicious enchilada mushrooms. And the funny part is they take like 10 minutes or less to make. Honest to goodness low carb enchilada heaven in 30 minutes!
Don’t believe me? Take a peek:
Start out by cleaning a whole bunch of baby bellas off and popping out the stems.
Place these into a lightly greased baking dish and set aside.
Now for this ridiculous filling–start out by mixing some softened cream cheese just to get things working…
add in some taco seasoning, parmesan cheese,
sliced green onion,
cheddar cheese,
salt and pepper.
Stir it all up and voila! An amazingly cheesy and flavorful filling. I know it doesn’t look like much, but trust the Lauren.
Spoon the filling into those cute little mushroom caps and……are you ready for this??
smother the top with enchilada sauce
and more cheese for good measure. I do it because I can.
Bake these off for 20 minutes and voila! Brown and bubbly enchilada stuffed mushrooms.
Feel free to top these with anything you like–sour cream, cilantro, salsa….whatever. OR, be like me and shove a million into your mouth straight up…thus burning your tongue.
It’s your choice. Either way, these are crazy good. You’re welcome.
Happy weekend!

Kathryn says
April 27, 2012 at 8:19 amI love the new ways you think up to use Mexican-style flavours and ingredients. I’m only just starting to come to terms with mushrooms after a childhood of hatred but these look like they would be the perfect next step!
Mary says
April 27, 2012 at 4:54 pmThese look wonderful! I will have to try this very soon! P.S. I did the same mushroom thing! Yesterday I made Cream of Baby Bella Mushroom Soup (LowFat). Will be posting it soon. Must try it and see if you like it too! Keep on with the mushrooms!
Shawn @ I Wash...You Dry says

Chung-Ah | Damn Delicious says
April 27, 2012 at 6:55 pmBest. stuffed mushrooms. ever.
Seriously. I cannot wait to make this. The boyfriend is moving back home in 2 weeks and I think I’ll surprise him with this. He might just propose once I make this.
anonymous says
April 27, 2012 at 11:18 pmOhhhhh, man. I’ve GOT to try these. I am a mushroom hater (sorry- blame the canned cream of mushroom soup!) BUT these look like they would work miracles. And they did. I am officialy a “shroom” lover just by lookin at the screen. THANK YOU!! My mom and grandma are obsessed with mushrooms. BTW I’m 13. 😀
Dinuka says
April 27, 2012 at 11:21 pmYa know, you COULD potentially call these healthy by the sneaky shrooms peeking underneath that “OH MAMA” melty heavenly party in my mouth CHEDDAR (my fav)!
Julie @ Table for Two says
April 28, 2012 at 2:05 amlauren, you are amazing. these are WONDERFUL and so creative on your end. wow, i’m seriously wanting to eat my screen right now..or actually, i want to run to costco tomorrow morning, wait outside for it to open, and buy a ton of shrooms…this looks and sounds soo good!!!
Lauren says
April 28, 2012 at 2:09 amHahaha! Well, my job is done then!

Julia says
April 30, 2012 at 3:35 pmI have that very same container of mushrooms from costco in my fridge right now. AND PESTO TOO! And the 4 lb bag of broccoli. I can not be trusted there, AT ALL! So glad to see such a creative and delicious new way to have stuffed mushrooms AND enchiladas!
Katrina says
May 4, 2012 at 3:51 amI’m so happy I found this recipe! We’re doing a “snack day” at work tomorrow that’s texmex theme for cinco de mayo, so I’m making these. I have everything prepped and in the fridge now. Tomorrow morning i’ll pour on the enchilada sauce, bake, then transfer to a crockpot to transport and keep warm. I’m excited about how good they look like they’ll taste! 🙂
Lauren says
May 4, 2012 at 4:27 amHow awesome! Sounds like a fun lunch! Hope you like them Katrina! 🙂
Nancy says
May 7, 2012 at 12:00 pmMy husband’s family was over yesterday so I decided to make these. They were SO good! Everyone loved them. Will definitely make them again. Thanks!
Stephanie says
May 7, 2012 at 1:38 pmWait…are you sure it wasn’t 14.2 ounces, not pounds? That would be a really really big box of mushrooms, they’re so light! (and for the record, I would TOTALLY buy a 14 lb box too). In either case, these look great!
Martha says
May 9, 2012 at 3:29 amOMG…so making these this weekend for a friends B-Day party. TY!
PammyJay says
May 12, 2012 at 1:58 pmI love mushrooms, but my family doesn’t. I made this filling and put it in filo cups. I eliminated the enchilada sauce.( I thought they’d get soggy), We are having them tomorrow for a Mother’s Day appetizer….I’ll let you know how they turn out. Thanks, Lauren & Happy Mom’s Day to you!!
PammyJay says
May 14, 2012 at 11:54 amLauren, I did make them. They all went and everyone asked me to make them again. I was just wishing they were mushrooms!!…
Michelle @ Brown Eyed Baker says
May 28, 2012 at 5:06 amThese look awesome! They make me realize I haven’t made enchiladas in eons. I must remedy that, and make these, as well!
Marcee .... ILLINOIS says
May 31, 2012 at 11:02 pmWow …. what a great recipe for company …. anytime really. Filling too.
I will try and prepare this weekend. Only need the mushrooms …. have everything else. My fridge is always stocked w/mexican cheeses! Love them.
Enjoying your posts …. a real comic you are Lauren! Thanks for making us laugh out loud!!
Marylou says

Melissa B says
July 9, 2012 at 10:23 amThink you could make them with green enchilada sauce? Don’t have red enchilada sauce on hand.
