These Reuben stuffed mushrooms are incredibly fun and delicious taking the classic mixture of corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese and thousand island dressing mixing it with smooth cream cheese. It's an easy bite-sized appetizer that disappears from the table every single time.

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350℉ and lightly grease a 9x13 baking dish.
Prepare mushroom caps:
Rinse the mushrooms quickly under the cold running water and pat them dry.
Carefully pop the stems off each mushroom. (Food waste tip: you can sauté mushroom stems or add them to other veggies to sauté instead of discarding.)
Create extra room in the mushroom: I like to scrape out the brown membrane (the gills) under the cap to create extra room in the mushroom cap for stuffing. Use a small spoon and gently scrape it out of each cap and discard.
Toss each prepared mushroom cap with some oil, salt, and pepper and place into the baking dish to be stuffed.
Mushroom Stuffing:
Combine the finely diced corned beef, squeezed sauerkraut, softened cream cheese, shredded Swiss cheese, Thousand Island dressing, and some salt and pepper in a mixing bowl. Use a spatula to mix everything together until evenly combined.
Fill each mushroom cap generously with the Reuben mixture, stuffing it with a dome on top. Be generous with filling but not to the point that the dome is bigger than the mushroom.
Sprinkle each stuffed mushroom cap with some Swiss cheese.
Bake for about 30 minutes. Let the mushrooms rest a few minutes before transferring them into the serving platter.
