Ground Beef And Ham Stuffed Mushrooms

These can be completely prepared and stored in the refrigerator until ready to broil, just bring down to room temperature for about 45 minutes before cooking --- make certain to cook the mushrooms caps first to release their moisture --- these are also good made with bulk italian sausage meat or see my recipe#178446 this may be used in place of the ground beef or use a combo of each :)
