Ingredients you’ll need for this recipe
Step by Step Guide
1. Set your oven to 350°F so it’s ready for these tasty mushrooms.
2. Finely chop your jalapeño. If you like a bit more heat, leave in some of the seeds!
3. Wash your mushrooms and carefully remove the stems. You’ll want to create a nice hollow space for all that delicious filling.
4. In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, minced garlic, bacon pieces, and chopped jalapeño. Mix until everything is well incorporated.

7. Once they’re out of the oven, serve these savory bites warm, and watch them disappear in no time!
