The holiday season is upon us, my friends. Parties, gatherings and festivities galore! I love a good party, and I love a potluck party even more. Stuffed mushrooms are one of my favorite dishes to bring to gatherings. They’re easy to assemble, their bite size shape makes them perfect for guests to eat as they mingle, and who can deny their deliciousness. In particular, these Jalapeno Bacon Stuffed Mushrooms from TK member Kelly of Evil Shenanigans caught my eye. I’ll be honest, the title of the recipe had everything to do with my curiosity. Cheese? Yes. Bacon? Double yes. And spicy, too?! Triple yes.
Let’s get started!
Grab a small bowl and toss the panko bread crumbs with the melted butter.
Clean the mushrooms and remove their stems. Go ahead and dice up the stems and set aside. We’re going to use them later!
Dice up the jalapeno, yellow onion and garlic. Triple threat!
In a saute pan, cook the diced bacon until golden brown and crispy.
Add the jalapenos, onions, garlic …
… and diced stems.
Cook the mixture for five minutes, or until the vegetables become translucent.
This is when the fun starts!
In a medium bowl, mix up the cream cheese and shredded cheddar cheese. Once it’s all mixed, add the warm vegetable/bacon mixture and toss.
Place the mushrooms on a lined baking sheet.
Using a tablespoon, scoop the mixture into the mushroom centers.
Lastly, top each mushroom with a bit of the buttery panko mixture.
I ended up with a bit more mixture left so I ended up getting fifteen mushrooms out of this recipe. I’m definitely not complaining!
Bake the mushrooms for 20 minutes, or until the tops turn a golden brown and the cheese starts to ooze out the sides.
I have big plans for making this again (I’m doubling the recipe next time), taking them to a party and watching as they disappear. This will happen—guaranteed!

These are great – I pinned this recipe a while ago but decided to make them tonight. I have extra filling so prob buying more mushrooms tomorrow

These are delicious, I doubled the bacon and trimmed off the fat so they wouldn’t be soggy from the grease. Definitely make again!

Can I make these the night before, freeze them and cook in the morning??

I can just tell these are going to be a new favorite! Can’t wait to make them for New Years Eve if not before!

Made this tonight for a holiday party – turned out amazing! It definitely makes more stuffing than needed, so get some extra ‘shrooms
Becca @ Amuse Your Bouche on 12.8.2011
I’m drooling at these even though I’m a vegetarian! I will definitely try making these without the bacon!

I love making easy and tasty appetizers for the Holidays! Bonus points if you only need three ingredients! I posted a devils on horseback recipe on my blog. It’s also just blue cheese, bacon and dates. Yum!

I thought I’d take a five minute vacation and surf my favorite sites (end of semester jitters, don’tcha know). What a fantastic recipe and the pictures are fabulous. It’s like Mind Candy. I knew I could come here for a peaceful getaway.

What are panko bread crumbs?
A Cozy Kitchen on 12.8.2011
Panko bread crumbs are Japanese bread crumbs. They have a crispier, crunchier texture than traditional bread crumbs. They’re delicious!

If I want to take them to a party, can I make them ahead of time and then just reheat later?
A Cozy Kitchen on 12.8.2011
Hi Sally! I’d actually assemble them and then bake at the party. Their cooking time isn’t too long.
Niki on 12.7.2011
I make these ones all the time! Great recipe!

Can you ever really go wrong with stuffing anything with dairy and bacon?
I think not.
A Cozy Kitchen on 12.8.2011
Dairy + bacon = match made in heaven.
Magsie on 12.7.2011
These looks SO good! I love stuffed mushrooms, but the idea of adding jalapenos…. Awesome!
