Bacon and Cream Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms

Bacon and Cream Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms... need I say more? This post is sponsored by the folks at Wright Brand Bacon, but the opinions here are my own, just as always.  🙂

In just a few days we’ll be ringing in 2016!  I can hardly believe it.  We’re not big on going out to ring in the new year.  We’d much rather just be surrounded by some close friends and great food  – which is where we’ll be found this year.  🙂  We’ll whip up some our favorite appetizers and snacks and play board games and watch the countdown.  How do you ring in the new year?

One of the things that we always have on the menu is stuffed mushrooms – especially these Bacon and Cream Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms made with thick cut Wright Brand Bacon.  They’re super easy to make and don’t take much time to make like some other stuffed mushroom recipes.  I’ve been making them for years but just recently realized I’d never shared them with y’all!  Let me show you how easy and delicious these can be…

Bacon and Cream Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms... need I say more?

Start with 6 slices of Wright Brand thick cut bacon.  You know anything that starts with bacon is gonna be good, right??  I like to use the Hickory Smoked Bacon, but the Applewood is great in this too.  See all the amazing varieties on their site.

Cook it until crisp, then drain it on paper towels and chop it up.  Drain away all but about 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease.  But don’t discard that extra!  Save it!

In the meantime, clean your mushrooms with a clean kitchen towel and remove the stems.  Place the mushrooms caps on a lightly greased jelly roll pan.  Chop the stems finely.  Place the pan with the reserved bacon grease back over the heat and cook the chopped mushroom stems until tender.

In a large bowl, combine the chopped bacon, cooked mushroom stems, cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and Parmesan cheese and mix well.

Place a heaping teaspoonful  (or more) of the stuffing mixture into each of the mushroom caps.  Bake at 350°F for 18 to 20 minutes or until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is heated through.

See how easy that was.  And wait till you taste these babies… you’ll wish you made a double batch!  Do you have a favorite New Year’s recipe that includes bacon?  If so, be sure to tell me about it in the comments below!  Happy New year, y’all!

    We have a wood fire & grill restaurant here that serves this as a starter… it is phenomenal! In my dissection of this dish the only difference appears to be is that dress the dish for presentation with a balsamic glaze. Thank you for sharing this I’ve been praying to find a recipe that hit the marks for proper measurements!!! I am jumping for joy !!!!

      I wouldn’t recommend it. Stuffed mushrooms, in my opinion, don’t reheat very well. You could make the filling and and stuff them the day before and then just cook them the day of.

    Why do you use garlic and onion powers as opposed to fresh?

      The flavor profile is just a bit different with the powders and I think it works better in this. That said, you are welcome to sauté onions and garlic as a replacement if you want to avoid the powders.

    Wow Stacey, these look so good. I absolutely love stuffed mushrooms, but I’ve never made them. Too bad we just used up all our bacon yesterday or I’d be making these right now since I have all the other ingredients in the house. I’ve got these very soon. I’ll let you know when I do. Thanks! (By the way, Happy New Year to you and your family!)

        Hi again Stacey. My mother beat me to it and made these mushrooms last week, (she also follows your site and subscribes to your emails), She said they were the best stuffed mushrooms she ever had. So, I finally made them tonight and we loved them! I’ll definitely be making these again and again. Btw, I made them with breaded pork chops and your Company Potatoes, (another favorite). Thanks!!

    These remind me of my stuffed mushrooms. I do cream cheese, onion, and bacon and after stuffing the mushrooms I cook them with a garlic butter made from olive oil, butter, and garlic, poured over the top and baked. Because of the garlic butter they are more messy and very delicious. I also cook them longer until the mushrooms have released all of their moisture. I refer them as a heart attack in a mushroom cap. YUM. Now I’m craving some.

    Hi Stacey! I bought mushrooms today, planning on making stuffed mushrooms for NYE. I always buy Wright’s thick cut bacon- it is the best! Great recipe!
