There are two types of people in this world, mushroom lovers, and mushroom haters.  I have yet to meet a person that says “Oh, I am not sure if I like them.”  Well if you are one of the many that love mushrooms you are going to love this simple ooey gooey cheesy golden brown roasted Bacon and White Cheddar Stuffed Mushrooms appetizers.

If you like simple entertaining and mushrooms, then this Bacon and White Cheddar Stuffed Mushroom recipe for you!

I don’t remember a party I have hosted were stuffed mushrooms were not on the menu.  They are the perfect appetizer.  Simple mushrooms stuffed with glorious flavor loaded cheesy filling and roasted till they are golden brown.  Most of the time when you see stuffed mushrooms they are made with large mushrooms, but I prefer medium to small mushrooms, after all, appetizers for a crowd are better served as one bite snacks.

Well, let’s not waste time talking about the logistics of a stuffed mushroom and instead let’s get to cooking!

When I first was learning how to cook I was taught by a very wise woman the smaller something is the higher the temp in your oven should be.  So, start by preheating your oven to 400 degrees, and prepping a baking sheet or pan by spraying it with nonstick spray.

Anytime you are placing bacon in anything you want to pre-cook it.  If you do not you will be left with limp bacon and no one likes limp chewy bacon, it’s just not pleasant.  So, precook your bacon and set it aside for later.

In a food processor combine the cream cheeses, bacon, cheddar, garlic, white pepper, smoked paprika, and green onion.  Blend or pulse the mixture until everything is well combined.

Wash and remove the stems from the mushrooms.  Now add a heaping spoon full of the filling in each mushroom cap and place the mushrooms on the baking sheet.  Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven.

Once the tops of the filling are golden brown, and the filling has melted and has become ooey gooey remove the baking sheet from the oven, allow to cool slightly, serve and enjoy!!

If your guests are mushroom lovers, they won’t get enough of these savory, flavor-loaded, Bacon and White Cheddar Stuffed Mushrooms.
