The perfect appetizer for impressing your dinner guests over the holidays has to be Mushrooms stuffed with ground wild game, sweet onion and mozzarella cheese hot out of the oven. Who wouldn’t say… Yum! Now, lets take a minute and talk organic, free range, grass fed, and sustainably harvested. Wild game is one of the best sources of protein for anyones diet, and not to mention no added hormones, shots, or anything! That’s just one simple reason we like to hunt and fill our freezers for our families.

• 2 tablespoons butter or ghee
• 25-30 mushrooms 
• 1 sweet onion
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• ½ cup shredded mozzarella
• fresh thyme
• salt
• olive oil

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 375.
2. Slice sweet onion in large pieces about ¼ inch thick. Season with olive oil, salt and cook in a pan. Turn every 2-3 minutes for roughly 8 minutes or until the onion becomes soft.
