Stuffed Mushrooms with Sweet Italian Sausage, Goat Cheese & Figs

In a medium to large fry pan add Italian Sausage to pan and break up as much as possible to allow for even cooking. Sprinkle cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and pepper over the top layer of the sausage to evenly distribute the spices. Cook over medium heat until sausage is fully cooked. Drain of excess oil. Return to heat and add 1/8 cup of Crown Royal. Continue to cook until the alcholol is completely absorbed and the alchohol aroma has disappated. Let sausage mixture cool to slighly warm prior to adding remaining ingredients. Prepare Mushrooms for Stuffing: Clean fresh mushrooms tops with a moist paper towel to remove any bits that are sometimes in the packaging. Trim stem bottoms to remove any dried stem. Remove stems and set aside. Use a melon scoop to remove additional stem or mushroom inside to allow more room for stuffing. Chop figs and mushrooms stems until small bits. Chop walnuts into small bits if purchased in larger size. Add chopped figs, chopped mushroom stems, chopped walnuts, goat cheese and parmesan cheese (if you decided to go half & half on the cheeses) to the sausage mixture. Mix well. Use your hands to mix together all the ingredients. Dig in and thoroughly mix the cheese, figs, walnuts, etc into the sausage so that the sausage mix can be formed into balls to press into the mushrooms. At this time preheat oven to 350 degrees. For button mushrooms, lightly press approximately 1-1.5 tablespoon of sausage mixture into the scooped out mushroom. For larger stuffing mushrooms, allow for around 2-3 tablespoons per mushroom. There will be around 24-30 button mushrooms or 12-15 large mushrooms. Place each stuffed mushroom stuffing side up on non-stick baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes for button mushrooms or 20-30 minutes for large mushrooms. Remove from oven when the mushroom sides are of a browned color. Do not overcook.
