Easy Bacon and Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms
I have yet to meet a person, that’s not a vegetarian, that doesn’t like this appetizer. It’s my go-to appetizer for crowds, date night dinners or any other special occasion. If you like mushrooms, cheese, and bacon then this appetizer is a winner! Make the meal even more special by serving the appetizer on a beautiful cheese board such as this one.
The best part about this recipe is that you could double the stuffing to use it for breakfast the following day. Or if you end up with too much stuffing because your mushrooms were on a small side you can save it to top these perfect scrambled eggs.
If you’re a big fan of bacon, here’s a few other recipes that feature this delicious food:
