Stuffed Mushrooms Recipe πŸ„

Description:

These Stuffed Mushrooms are a delightful appetizer bursting with flavor! The stuffing is a heavenly blend of bacon, onion, garlic, and more, creating a symphony of taste in every bite. Originally inspired by a recipe from Southern Living, this dish carries a hint of Southern charm, especially with the dash of cayenne pepper. Beware, they’ll disappear quickly, so it’s wise to double the recipe!

  • Prep Time: 25 minutes
  • Cook Time: 30 minutes
  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Servings: 12 mushroom appetizers

Ingredients:

  • 12 white mushrooms
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp butter (divided)
  • 1/2 onion, finely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 2 slices bacon, chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven:

    • Begin by preheating your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C).
  2. Prepare the Mushrooms:

    • Clean the mushroom caps thoroughly and remove the stems. Set aside.
  3. Cook the Stuffing:

    • In a large skillet, heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
    • Add the chopped onions and cook for about 1 minute until they start to soften.
    • Stir in the chopped mushroom stems and cook until they become tender, approximately 2 minutes.
    • Now, add the minced garlic, chopped bacon, and fresh parsley to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
    • Allow the mixture to cook for another minute, ensuring the flavors meld together beautifully.
  4. Add Breadcrumbs:

    • Remove the skillet from the heat and gradually add the breadcrumbs, about a half cup at a time.
    • Mix well after each addition, ensuring the stuffing remains moist. You may not need to use all the breadcrumbs.
  5. Season the Stuffing:

    • Season the stuffing mixture with cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper according to your taste preferences. Adjust the seasoning as needed.
  6. Stuff the Mushrooms:

    • Once the stuffing mixture has cooled down slightly, it’s time to stuff the mushroom caps generously.
    • Place the stuffed mushroom caps in a baking dish, arranging them snugly to prevent them from tipping over.
  7. Bake to Perfection:

    • Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter over the stuffed mushrooms in the baking dish.
    • Transfer the dish to the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until the mushrooms are heated through and tender.
  8. Serve and Enjoy:

    • Once baked to perfection, remove the stuffed mushrooms from the oven.
    • Serve them immediately, garnished with additional fresh parsley if desired.
    • Watch as they disappear within moments, leaving everyone craving for more!

These Stuffed Mushrooms are perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a casual gathering with friends or a formal dinner party. Enjoy the explosion of flavors with each bite, and savor the satisfaction of creating such a delectable appetizer!
