Recipe: Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms

This great recipe disappeared so fast I didn't even get a good photo! It's called cheese stuffed mushrooms. Clean the amount of mushrooms you need (I ALWAYS make more) and pop/scoop out the middle. Fill the center with shredded cheese of your choice and top with a quarter piece of pepperoni. Place on a cookie sheet and place in a preheated 450 degree F oven for approximately 20 minutes or until mushrooms begin to "weep" and cheese is melted.
