Bacon-wrapped mushrooms

12 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 pounds Bacon
1 pounds Fresh mushrooms, washed
Toothpicks

Directions

1. Cut the mushrooms in half. If it is a very small mushroom, leave it whole. If it is an oversized mushroom, cut into thirds or fourths.

2. Slice bacon in half (width-wise) at an angle. To do this, hold the knife perpendicular to the bacon, then turn the knife slightly so that the knife is now at an angle, then slice the bacon.

3. Take a slice of bacon and wrap it around a mushroom half, overlap the ends, and poke a toothpick about half-way into the mushroom at the overlap.

4. Repeat this for each bacon slice and mushroom half.

5. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 6. Arrange mushrooms on a drip pan about ½-inch apart. Bake for 20 minutes. Serve hot.

NOTES: Depending on how thick the bacon is, you may need more than 1 pound. Also, don't let soak mushrooms in water or they'll absorb too much water and then they'll shrink and crack.
