Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Clean mushrooms with a damp paper towel. Carefully break off stems. Chop stems extremely fine, discarding tough end of stems.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and chopped mushroom stems to the skillet. Fry until any moisture has disappeared, taking care not to burn garlic. Set aside to cool.
• When garlic and mushroom mixture is no longer hot, stir in cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, black pepper, onion powder and cayenne pepper. Mixture should be very thick. Using a little spoon, fill each mushroom cap with a generous amount of stuffing. Arrange the mushroom caps on prepared cookie sheet.
• Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the mushrooms are piping hot and liquid starts to form under caps.

Steps:

• NOTE: Use the Hottest horseradish you can find, the stuff from Arby's works great! If you open the jar and your eyes water you have the right stuff. Also, for best taste, use freshly made Hidden Valley Ranch dressing, no bottled stuff. If you do use the bottles stuff, you will want to water it down with buttermilk.
• - Mix cream cheese and cheddar cheese thoroughly in small bowl.
• - Mix Hidden Valley Dressing and Horseradish in separate small bowl.
• - Rinse mushrooms and remove stems.
• - Stuff cheese mixture into mushroom caps so about 1/4 inch higher than cap in domed shape.

• Remove mushrooms from oven, place dishes on larger serving plate and add dipping sauce on the side.
• Enjoy!
