Rustic Cream Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms
If there is anything I will never turn down, stuffed mushrooms are at the top of the list. I’m obsessed. They are great for holiday spreads, game days, and potlucks. When I make them for parties, I make a few extra to test for quality control. It’s an important job, and somebody has to do it.
These stuffed mushrooms are packed with sautéed onions, garlic, cream cheese, crispy bacon, Parmesan, and buttery herb breadcrumbs.

They are rich and creamy and bake up golden and delicious.
