Servings: 12 people
Calories: 150kcal
Equipment
- 12" Dutch Oven
- 12" cast iron skillet
Ingredients
- 24 fresh mushrooms large
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 4 oz blue cheese crumbled
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 4 green onions chopped, divided
- ½ cup bacon cooked, chopped, divided
Instructions
- Use a paper towel to clean any dirt from the mushrooms, remove the stems, and if desired, the gills.
- Combine cream cheese, blue cheese, most of the green onions, garlic, and ¼ cup bacon in a bowl and mix well. (stand or hand mixer works best)
- Stuff each mushroom with the cream cheese filling and place in a 12″ Dutch oven.
- Sprinkle remaining bacon over the stuffed mushrooms.
- Bake mushrooms uncovered at 350°F for about 20 minutes or until mixture is melted, but not soupy. Garnish with the remaining green onions.
Notes
- Pre-stuff at home. Mix the filling and stuff the mushrooms the morning of your trip. Layer them in a flat container with parchment between layers. They hold in a cooler for 8-10 hours.
- Pre-cook the bacon. Cook and crumble bacon at home. Store in a zip-top bag. One less thing to cook at camp.
- Don't rinse the mushrooms. Mushrooms are roughly 90% water. Rinsing them adds moisture that makes them soggy when cooked. Wipe with a dry paper towel or brush instead.
- Don't overfill. The cream cheese filling expands as it melts. Fill to just below the rim of each cap.
- Let them rest 5 minutes. Straight off the coals, the filling is molten. Give them a few minutes on the serving platter so the filling sets slightly and nobody burns their mouth.
- Use a lid lifter. A proper camp oven lid lifter keeps you from dumping ash into the mushrooms when you check on them. Worth the investment.
