A tempting treat on the appetizer tray: figure two or three per person. Too good for kids so don't try to coerce them into it either. More for you and me-and we know how good these can be! Ingredients:
4 bacon, slices diced |
1 tablespoon reserved bacon grease |
30 large fresh mushrooms |
1 cup onion & garlic salad crouton, crushed |
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese |
1 medium tomato, finely chopped (optional) |
2 slices thinly sliced ham, finely chopped |
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese |
1 tablespoon dried parsley |
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano |
Directions:
1. In a frying pan, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove from pan to a paper-towel covered plate. Reserve 1 tablespoon bacon grease in the pan.
2. While the bacon is sizzling, remove stems from mushrooms; set caps aside; finely chop HALF of the stems (use remaining stems for something else).
3. Add chopped stems to drippings WITH bacon; saute for 2-3 minutes.
4. Preheat oven to 425*. Grease a cookie sheet; set aside,.
5. Remove frying pan from heat, stir in remaining ingredients.
6. Firmly stuff bacon mixture into mushroom caps; place caps on prepared cookie sheet.
7. Bake for 12-15 minutes or mushrooms are tender.
