It's Friday, Friday, Friday. Got plans to get out and grill this weekend? It's Father's Day weekend and what better way to treat dad than to cook for him! Need a little sum sum to go along side your grilled masterpiece? How about a glorious stuffed mushroom?!
There are about a million recipes for stuffed mushrooms out there, but when you boil it all down, the ingredients are all pretty similar. So technically, probably like20 3 different recipes out there for stuffed mushrooms. :) Most include breadcrumbs of some sort, butter, a cheese of some kind, maybe some crab meet, or onions. But, you know it's going to be a good day if the recipe calls for bacon!!! This week's Free Recipe Friday has just that. These make great appetizers or delicious as a side dish. Cook 'em on the grill or in the oven as we did. Either way, they will be DY-NO-MITE!!!

8 oz. pkg. cream cheese, room temperature
half a bunch of green onions, chopped
salt/pepper

If you wanted to be fancy,
you could add in a bit of crab meat to
throw it OVER.THE.TOP.
WHAT TO DO:
Wipe off any black compost from the mushrooms
by wiping with a soft dry cloth or paper towel.
You can also use a soft veggie brush.
Do not rinse them in water, eww.
Remove stems from each mushroom with a little twist
and set the mushroom caps aside.
Save the stem pieces to saute and add in to an omelet,
a burger, or anything you'd like.
Combine the cream cheese with chopped green onions
and add a little salt and pepper for seasoning.

No need to add much because the bacon will be salty,
but a little is needed because of the size of the mushroom.
Using a spoon, begin filling each mushroom cap
with a heaping amount of the cream cheese mixture.
Once all mushrooms are filled,
wrap bacon around each one. If the mushrooms
are rather large, you may need to use two
halves of bacon or an unsliced strip.
You may or may not have a few slices of bacon leftover.
If you're planning to bake these,
place in a casserole dish that's been sprayed
with non-stick spray and bake at 350
for about 30-45 minutes, depending on their size.

To grill, place on a grill and turn routinely
to completely cook the bacon.
And that right there is deliciousness my friend.
What a treat for dear ol' dad!
ENJOY!
