Crab Stuffed Mushrooms

Ingredients:

1 pound large mushrooms
3-4 tablespoons butter
3 green onions, minced
1 lb. crab meat (usually 1 lb container)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
1 package cream cheese

Directions:

Wash and trim the end of stems from mushrooms. Pop remaining stem out. Chop stems and set aside.
Spray a shallow baking dish (about 8-inch square, or one which will fit mushrooms in one layer) with butter-flavored spray or grease with butter.
Melt butter in skillet; add chopped stems, minced green onions. Cook until tender.
In a bowl, combine cream cheese with seasoning and crab meat. Slowly mix in cooked ingredients. (I mix it all with my hands b/c it's easier).
Stuff mushroom caps. Sprinkle each mushroom with a little Parmesan cheese.
Bake at 350° for 15 to 20 minutes, until hot and mushroom caps are tender.

*Makes 16 to 20 stuffed mushroom appetizers.
