This year with holiday entertaining taking on a whole new mindset, these fill-ya-up Secret Ingredient Stuffed Mushrooms should be tops on your “must make” list. You see, by using U.S. Farm-Raised catfish as our secret ingredient, it keeps these super moist, packed with protein, and holiday special.

What to Do
