Jalapeno Popper Mushrooms

My husband loves stuffed jalapeños and I like stuffed mushrooms, so I came up with this jalapeño popper mushrooms recipe that combines the two. Leave some of the seeds or ribs in the jalapeño for more heat! I like to use Neufchâtel cheese and turkey bacon for a lower fat version — it's just as tasty!

Ingredients

  • 2 strips bacon

  • cooking spray

  • 1 ½ teaspoons olive oil

  • 8 mushrooms, stems removed and chopped, caps reserved

  • 1 jalapeño pepper, ribs and seeds removed, finely chopped

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened

  • 3 tablespoons shredded Cheddar cheese

  • sea salt to taste

  • ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Cook bacon in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Crumble bacon; set aside.

  2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a baking dish with cooking spray.

  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chopped mushroom stems, jalapeño, and garlic; cook and stir until mushrooms release moisture and soften, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl; stir in cream cheese, Cheddar cheese, and bacon. Season with salt and black pepper. Spoon cheese mixture generously into mushroom caps; place in the prepared baking dish.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until cheese begins to brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
