Bacon and Green Chile Stuffed Mushrooms

Posted by melissabigler on

One of my favorite things about stuffed mushrooms is that there really aren’t any rules.  I generally use whatever we have on hand and today that includes two of my favorite things – bacon and green chile.

Let’s Get Crafty!
Preheat oven to 425

1 large package of mushrooms (about 12), clean with a damp cloth and pull the stems out

Mix Together:
8 oz cream cheese, softened
4 T bacon, crumbled
1 T chives, cut up small (green onions would be good too… I used chives because they are doing awesome in my herb garden)
1/4 cup diced mushroom stems
Garlic powder, a couple shakes
1/3 cup green chiles
1/4 shredded cheddar cheese

All mixed together and ready for action!

Stuff the Mushrooms and get them in the oven.

The filling recipe makes quite a bit and these mushrooms were pretty big from Costco.  If you have leftover filling – it would be great as a warm dip.  Throw whatever is left in a small baking dish and cook it along with the mushrooms.  It probably won’t need as much time as the mushrooms.

Bake for 20 minutes

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you have a great rest of your day.
