4th of July weekend is upon us! As the most highly anticipated summer cooking holiday of the year (sorry Memorial Day and Labor Day, but you know it’s true…) it’s imperative to have your menu game on point. And I’m not talking just the expected hot dogs and hamburgers. You need some winning sides ready if you’re going to impress at that neighborhood BBQ or block party!
Stuffed mushrooms are one of my favorites appetizers or sides any time of year, because you can make them as heavy or light as you’d like them to be, depending on what you choose to fill them with. Plus, in the summer, you can even cook ’em on the grill! The cow-loving folks at the Texas Beef Council recently reached out to us with an especially inspired idea… next time you’re debating between making burgers or stuffed mushrooms, why not treat yourself to the best of both worlds and stuff a mushroom full of beefy, blue cheesy goodness?
I’ll be frank with you guys: this recipe is not fancy, it’s not trendy, and it’s not 100% from scratch. But my mom has been making these sticky rolls for Christmas morning every year since I was a tiny kid, and my family cannot get enough of them. Now that I split my time between Seattle and Austin during the holidays, I make a batch of rolls for all my Austin peeps when I stay in Texas for Christmas, and they are unanimously loved here as well.
