Spinach and Bacon Stuffed Mushrooms

The stuffing is so good, I could eat it by the spoonful! More mushroom appetizers you might also like Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Mushrooms, Mushroom Ceviche or Lasagna Stuffed Mushrooms.

Here are some tips and variations:

  • I prefer the flavor of real bacon, so I buy center cut which is a bit leaner than regular bacon and I drain it well after cooking. Can you make them with turkey bacon? Sure, if you don’t eat pork that would work.
  • To make these vegetarian, replace the bacon with a little Feta cheese and chopped fresh herbs.
  • Can you make them ahead of time? Yes, you can prepare the stuffing ahead, then fill and bake them right before serving.
