Stuffed Mushrooms

I've had several people tell me these are the best stuffed mushrooms they've ever had! (In fact, every few months, a friend of mine tells me: "My mom was talking about your mushrooms again today...she sure loves them." Her mom tried them once at a New Year's Eve party about three years ago LOL) These are similar to Olive Garden's, but not nearly as greasy and more flavorful!! Once I tried subbing canned crab for the clams but was NOT impressed...the crab version was so bland! Even if someone doesn't like clams or seafood, I think they'll like this recipe...it doesn't taste seafood-y at all, but the clams add an element that will be missed. I hope you enjoy 'em! :-)
