Cheesy bacon goodness is right! Wonderful variation on stuffed portabellas. I ended up with enough filling for four mushrooms, which was just fine by us. Thanks for sharing! PAC Spring '12

DELICIOUS! I did make a few changes to fit the ingredients I had in the fridge, and they turned out to be awesome! I added minced garlic and chopped red bell pepper to the onions. I used buttermilk and breadcrumbs instead of cream cheese. I used gruyere & sharp chedder instead of mozzarella cheese (yummy!). I also added some fresh zesty sprouts to the end product.
