  1. Made this tonite. It was my 1st time making beef wellingon. My husband and I were VERY impressed. I made 1/2 the recipe using baby bella mushrooms and Idaho Bleu cheese. Baked them on silicone baking sheet liner for easy clean up. We will definitely make this again. Would be fabulous for a special occasion. Relatively easy too, because they can be assembled up to a day ahead. I did not have all the full fridge times and they still turned out great.
