Incredibly delicious stuffed mushrooms, made with a flavorful mixture of crispy bacon, spinach and Italian cheese mix.
Stuffed Mushrooms
I hope everyone’s holidays have been nice and you’re ready to greet the New Year! We’re getting ready for the New Year here and I’m preparing some appetizers to share with you and to decide what I will serve on New Year’s Eve.
Almost every year, I make some kind of pizza roll ups or pinwheels but I just realized that stuffed mushrooms would make a wonderful party food and it’s so easy to prep ahead of time. I like to get most of my food prep done in the morning or the night before the party.
These stuffed mushrooms are very easy to prepare ahead of time, just do everything except baking them in the morning, cover and refrigerate until ready to cook them right before the party. When ready to make, just place stuffed mushrooms onto the baking dish and pop them in the oven.
Whether it’s for 2 or 20, this stuffed mushrooms recipe will be a hit of the party. You can use either small baby bella mushrooms, medium ones, or large ones, depending if you’re making them for a big party or a private family evening.
