smoky stuffed mushrooms
I love mushrooms any way I can get them. I created this recipe one night because I was craving something different. Even my then 3-year-old, who said she didn't like mushrooms, gobbled them up! WARNING: These are addictive, and it's a rich dish because of the bacon drippings or butter... but please give them a try!

How To Make smoky stuffed mushrooms
Test Kitchen Tips
If you want a smokier mushroom, use the bacon drippings instead of butter in the recipe.
-
Step 1Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Clean the mushrooms and remove the stems. Chop the stems and set aside. Cook 3 slices of the bacon to the limp stage and the other 4 until crisp. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate but reserve the drippings.
-
Step 2Add the onion and diced mushroom stems to the reserved drippings and cook until soft.
-
Step 3Chop the crisp bacon into small pieces. In a mixing bowl, add the cream cheese. Stir in the crisp bacon pieces and cheddar cheese.
-
Step 4Stir in the onion/mushroom mixture, black pepper, and garlic powder.
-
Step 5Spray a 9x13-inch casserole dish or sheet pan with cooking spray. Fill each mushroom with as much cheese filling as it will hold.
-
Step 6Cut each slice of limp bacon into 4 pieces so one small piece will fit onto each mushroom. Sprinkle bread crumbs on top of bacon-covered mushrooms and drizzle with bacon drippings or melted butter.
-
Step 7Bake for 20 minutes until brown on top. Enjoy!!
