Clean mushrooms, remove the stems, and marinate with 3 tbsp olive oil and 4 tbsp Marsala wine.
Reserve the stems and chop.
Cook crumbled sausage until browned. Drain.
Dice a 1/2 of a sweet yellow onion.
Add olive oil, garlic, mushrooms, and onions and cook until softened then add sausage back to the skillet and Worcestershire.
Now time to add the cheese! I love Philadelphia Cooking Creme and this variety, Italian Herb has Italian seasonings, cream cheese, and Parmesan cheese. YUM!
Mix in a bowl with panko bread crumbs.
Time to stuff the mushrooms! Pile them high with the stuffing. Add remaining Marsala and melted butter to the baking dish and bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes or until golden.
Before serving I like to ladle some of the juice from the pan over the mushrooms. Garnish with parsley.
Even the manliest of men love these mushrooms! Happy game day!
