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
- Camping Meals. If you’re looking to take these along on your next camping trip, you can prep the mushrooms and stuffing mixture ahead of time. You can either wait to stuff them just before you plan to cook them or fill them ahead of time. Cook them in your cast-iron skillet over your campfire until the cheese is melty.
- Store Leftovers. If you have any mushrooms left, store them in an airtight container and place them in the refrigerator for up to three days. I don’t recommend freezing them. Reheat them in the microwave for a few seconds or in the oven until heated through.
- Soften Your Cream Cheese. Let the cream cheese sit at room temperature for about thirty minutes before making the filling. It will be much easier to mix together without any lumps.
- Don’t Overfill. You want enough filling to fill up the mushroom opening but not too much that it cooks over and makes a mess.
