Smoking stuffed mushrooms takes this popular appetizer recipe to the next level! The cream cheese, common spices, asiago and cheddar cheese… combined with smoke flavor will make your taste buds swoon!
When we made our baked stuffed portobello mushrooms and fell in love, we KNEW we had to try our hand at smoking stuffed mushrooms too. And you know what? It was a total success. But this time, we used button mushrooms for a different spin, and they turned out to be little morsels of gold!

You can use either button or portobello
When making this recipe, you can use either button or portobello mushrooms and even choose to leave out the cream cheese stuffing, if you prefer plain smoked mushrooms.
What Kind of Smoker Can You Use?
Using a pellet smoker (like a PitBoss, Traeger or any brand that uses wood pellets) is our favorite to achieve the wood smoke flavor. However, using an electric smoker is just fine too!
Can I add meat or other “fillers” to this recipe?
Absolutely. This recipe is for a basic, cream cheese stuffed mushrooms (with seasonings and other cheeses) but you can absolutely add items like crab, breadcrumbs etc.
Are these keto or low-carb?
The recipe, written the way I have it, is considered a lower-carb recipe, being only around 7 carbohydrates in 5 mushrooms. (Nutrition facts are an estimate, so please use your own judgment.)
Ingredients:
- whole, white mushrooms
- cream cheese
- shredded asiago
- shredded cheddar
- Italian seasoning
- minced garlic
- onion powder
- salt
- pepper
How to Make These Smoked Stuffed Mushrooms
Preheat smoker to 225°, using your preference of wood-pellets if using a pellet smoker. (We prefer hickory pellets because they’re so versatile but apple pellets would also be amazing for smoking vegetables.)
Clean your mushrooms and remove stems. (See “tips” below on how to wash button mushrooms.)
In a medium-size bowl, mix together all of the ingredients except the mushrooms.
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil that’s sprayed with cooking spray and place mushrooms in smoker.
Fill the inside cavity of the mushrooms with the cream cheese mixture.
Smoke in the 225° smoker for 2 hours, or until mushrooms are cooked and cheese has a nice, golden color.
Can you place mushrooms directly on the grill racks?
If you do place them directly on the grill, keep an eye on the cook-time as they may cook faster this way and you don’t want them to burn or dry-out.
Tips:
- When washing mushrooms do not soak them in water because they’ll absorb water. Simply just wipe with a wet, rung-out paper-towel to clean them
- To make filling the mushrooms easier, microwave the cream cheese mixture for about 30 seconds to make it more smooth and easier to work with
- Place cream cheese mixture in to a plastic zip-top bag, cutting a hole in the corner, creating a “piping bag”, so you can easily fill the mushrooms.

30 to 40 minutes max. I used 8 oz cream cheese smoked Gouda and havarti cheese with minced garlic and onion powder..parsley on top. Stuffed my 6 , lol refrigerated the rest and smoke 30 to 40…tried with crab…a second time and it’s a meal in itself 💕

I love how you added crab to the stuffed mushrooms. That sounds so delicious Thank you for sharing!
Dan Patrick says
How should I reheat them? I’m planning on taking them to a company potluck lunch.
Jessica says
Hello Dan! Well they’re in luck!! What a great recipe to serve them! I’d say, if you have an air fryer… that would be my first choice. Or, if there’s a small toaster oven?? Maybe to gently reheat them? Or if you’re pulling them off the smoker and serving soon after, maybe wrapt them in an aluminum tray and cover them with foil, to try and hold the heat as long as possible? I don’t know if any of those ideas will be helpful or not but I sure hope so!
John says
Can these be frozen after they are smoked or should you freeze them before smoking?
Thanks!
Jessica says
Hi John! I haven’t tried freezing them after smoking but I don’t see why you couldn’t.
