Bob s Stuffed Mushrooms

20 mushrooms, stems removed

2 (6.5 ounce) cans minced clams, drained

½ cup melted butter

1 small onion, chopped

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

¾ cup Italian bread crumbs

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons dried parsley

2 tablespoons Italian seasoning

½ tablespoon ground black pepper

½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup melted butter

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 9x13 inch baking dish with a sheet of aluminum foil, and lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray. Clean the mushrooms carefully with a damp paper towel or a soft mushroom brush, and place into the prepared pan upside down.

Place the clams, 1/2 cup of melted butter, onion, Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, and garlic in a large mixing bowl. Season with parsley, Italian seasoning, and pepper; mix well. Fill the mushroom caps with the clam mixture, and round over the tops. Sprinkle with the shredded mozzarella cheese, and drizzle with the remaining 1 cup of butter.

Bake in the preheated oven until the mushrooms are tender, and the mozzarella cheese has lightly browned, 25-30 minutes.
