Recipe Tips

Heat oven to 400°F.

Remove stems from 24 of the largest mushrooms; finely chop removed stems and any remaining mushrooms. Place mushroom caps, rounded sides down, on parchment-covered rimmed baking sheet.

Crumble sausage into medium nonstick skillet; cook on medium heat 5 to 7 min. or until done, stirring occasionally. Add onions and chopped mushrooms; cook and stir 3 to 4 min. or until tender. Remove from heat. Add cream cheese; stir until melted. Stir in 1/4 cup cracker crumbs.

Spoon sausage mixture into mushroom caps, adding about 1 Tbsp. sausage mixture to each cap. Sprinkle with remaining cracker crumbs.

Bake 25 min. or until heated through.

Sprinkle with cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.
