Bacon Stuffed Mushrooms
Ingredients
- 8 oz. large mushrooms stems removed and reserved
- 2 tsp. olive oil divided
- 1 tsp. minced garlic
- 2 oz. cream cheese softened
- 3 Tbsp. dry Italian breadcrumbs divided
- 2 Tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese divided
- 3 Tbsp. bacon crumbles
- 1 tsp. dried parsley

- Finely chop reserved mushroom stems.
- In a medium skillet, heat 1 teaspoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Add mushroom stems and garlic; cook 2 minutes.
- Remove from heat and add cream cheese, 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs, 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese, crumbled bacon, and parsley. Mix well.
- Spoon mixture evenly into mushroom caps.
- In a small bowl, combine remaining breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese and oil. Sprinkle over mushrooms.
- Bake 20 minutes, or until mushrooms are tender and stuffing is lightly browned.
Notes
Instead of cooking your own bacon, try using packaged real bacon crumbles (usually found in the salad dressing aisle).
Using a frosting bag with the tip cut off to create a large opening works well for filling mushroom caps with cream cheese mixture.
