Servings: 4
Calories: 203kcal
Ingredients
- 6 ounces bacon chopped
- 4 cups chopped kale about half a bunch
- 1/4 cup crumbled oyster crackers divided
- 4 ounces Sargento Chef Blends 4 State Cheddar
- 16 large 2 1/2" diameter white mushrooms, stemmed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (204 degrees Celsius).
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chopped bacon and fry until the fat is rendered and the bacon is crisp. Transfer the cooked bacon to a large bowl, and reserve 1 tablespoon of bacon grease in the pan.
- Add the chopped kale to the pan and sauté in the remaining bacon grease until wilted, about 2–4 minutes. Transfer the kale to the large bowl along with ⅛ cup of the crumbled oyster crackers and all the shredded cheese. Toss well.
- Stuff the mushroom cavities with the filling mixture and place them on a baking sheet. Sprinkle the remaining ⅛ cup of crumbled oyster crackers over the tops of the stuffed mushrooms. Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is bubbly.
Notes
Store Cheesy Stuffed Mushrooms leftovers after they’ve cooled to room temperature. Place them in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 to 4 days.
To freeze, arrange the baked mushrooms in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container. They’ll stay good in the freezer for up to 2 months.
To reheat, bake straight from the fridge in a 350 degrees Fahrenheit (177 degrees Celsius) oven for 10 to 12 minutes. If frozen, thaw in the refrigerator overnight, then bake until heated through.
