1/4 cup bell pepper, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 cup water
3/4 cup instant rice

Brown sausage, onions, bell pepper and mushroom stems. Add salt, garlic powder and cayenne pepper. Add water and bring to a boil. Add rice and parsley. Cover and remove from heat. Let stand for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, blend mayonnaise and cheese. Combine half of mayonnaise mixture to all of cooked sausage-rice mixture. Stuff mushrooms with this and spoon remaining mayonnaise-cheese mixture on top of mushrooms. Place in 9 x 12-inch baking dish and bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes. Mushrooms will appear puffy and golden when done.

Smoked Salmon Tray
Submitted by: Kathie
I worked in a gourmet take out and their great appetizer tray was: Little bread rounds with cream cheese on them with smoked salmon. They were decorated with lemons at the plate edge and onions in rounds with a tiny bit a cavier in the middle and a sprig of parsley on the plate between the bread rounds. Very pretty, and very tasty, though I never got many of them.
