Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon butter
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 2 (16 ounce) packages mini phyllo shells
• 8 ounces bulk pork sausage
• 1 pound mushrooms, diced
• 1 (16 ounce) package shredded Italian cheese blend

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Arrange phyllo cups on an ungreased baking sheet.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter and combine sausage meat and garlic. Cook until sausage is browned, about 5 to 8 minutes; drain grease, and add mushrooms. Stirring occasionally, cook 5 minutes more or until all liquid evaporates; remove from heat and let cool.

Step 3

Fill each phyllo cup with 1 tablespoon of the sausage mixture, and top with a pinch of cheese. Bake in a preheated oven 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cheese melts and the pastry is golden brown. Serve immediately.
