Vegan Mushroom Stuffing has baby portobellos and is all wrapped up in a casserole. Rich flavors makes this recipe a  perennial favorite.

Vegan Mushroom Stuffing is piled high in three different shaped white bowls and they all sit on a wooden cutting board.

Mushroom stuffing is one of my favorite side dishes. I was hoping to make a new dressing this year that had rich moist flavors that everyone would love. Well, this is it.

Under 10 ingredients and they are all very important to keep this side perfectly moist with great taste.

Vegan Mushroom Stuffing is loaded with baby portobellos and the main spice is sage. The sage really puts it over the top.

This is a super simple casserole and since mushroom dressing freezes so perfectly it is a great dish to make in large quantities.

You don’t need any gravy to go with it but if you have a favorite vegan gravy, then please, serve on the side. I am an addict for dressing and gravy.

I’m also working on a gravy for the blog but in the meantime here is one that I have made before and it is really good. I like the onion cut really small for this Vegan Gravy.

Vegan Mushroom Stuffing has baby portobello, is an easy recipe and is rich in flavor.
 

 

Can Fresh Bread Cubes Be Used for Vegan Mushroom Stuffing?

I tried it with this recipe and it needs the packaged stuffing mix. You need the crusty seasoned cubes to work with all of the flavorful liquid.

Some years I make a fresh cube bread dressing but to tell you the truth my favorites are this one and the casserole mentioned right below here.

This year I bought extra boxes of Herbed Stuffing Mix so that I can make it throughout the year. True, I freeze it in small batches for lunch but it still goes too fast.

I’m determined to be able to make it after Thanksgiving too. This stuff is that good.

I’ve got another dressing that utilizes plant-based sausage that is also delicious. It’s Vegan Sausage Stuffing Casserole and uses seasoned cornbread stuffing mix. Check it out!

Vegan Sausage Stuffing Casserole s a treat and it's made with cornbread stuffing.  This dressing recipe can match any stuffing in any test.

Helpful Tools for Making Cremini Mushroom Dressing

A casserole dish is a must. You can go with the fancy to the everyday style. The truth is the stuffing makes every casserole shine.

For almost every recipe you need good measuring cups and measuring spoons. This is a great stainless steel set.

Good sturdy glass mixing bowls are the best to me. This set is even from Anchor Hocking.

Here’s a pic from the old days. I mean like about 5 years ago. We really do love this recipe and have been having it for years. Sometimes even two different stuffings.

I like to do that when my family comes over. The Vegan Sausage Stuffing Casserole and this delicious mushroom dressing.

By the way! Do you say dressing or stuffing?

I guess it doesn’t matter to me. They dress the table and stuff me. 🙂

Leftovers freeze beautifully. I will make this recipe just to freeze in single sized servings. It heats so quickly in the microwave and is a really tasty snack or lunch.

IF FREEZING:

Let cool to room temperature.
Cover with plastic wrap and then slide into a freezer bag. If you want to put the stuffing into small containers then follow one of the directions as defined in my article Preparing Food for the Freezer

TO PREPARE AFTER FREEZING:

Remove from the freezer and put in the refrigerator to defrost from 4 to 6 hours.

THE NIGHT OF SERVING:

Place the dressing in a microwavable safe bowl and heat on high for about 2 to 3 minutes stirring every minute. Ready to serve.

  2. This is too good to be just a side dish. Added sliced white button mushrooms to more cremimi, along with Fiji and Grammy Smith apple, plus shallot, scallion and a very small pinch of cayenne. The salt was not used. The sodium in the bag of stuffing was ok. Also added a little thyme and lemon zest. Sauteed your components and mine on high heat,, adding veg stock a bit at a time. Then the seasoned bread stuffing and more stock.
    Then grilled Portobello mushrooms were used hold the stuffing. Made 12. This was our main dish.
    The first idea was stuffed Portobelli, but the oven was being used for the roasted fillet of beef and lamb. We are an eclectic family group.
    So thank you very much for the inspiration. Michele

  3. Hahaha! I was wondering about that ‘word’ Sue. So glad you found this. I actually just switched the title because of that problem. So now it’s stuffing and I still say dressing half the time. 😀

  4. When I saw dressing in the title I thought it was mushroom salad dressing, and that really got my attention. I LOVE stuffing myself with stuffing!

  9. This looks like a great alternative to traditional dressing, or stuffing as we call it in our house! I love mushrooms, I only wish my fella loved them as much as me. I might have to sneak them in more often though.

  20. So.. I am like a 6 year old kid when it comes to mushrooms, I usually try and avoid them, but everything else in this recipe looks delicious so in the wise words of my mother “If you try it, you might like it!”
