These Jalapeño Popper Mushrooms are a spicy, creamy appetizer perfect for parties or game day snacks. Whole white button mushrooms are stuffed with a flavorful mixture of cream cheese, garlic, diced jalapeños, shredded cheddar cheese, and crispy bacon, then baked to bubbly perfection.

Ingredients

Scale

Mushrooms

  • 24 whole white button mushrooms

Filling

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (4-oz) can diced jalapeños, drained
  • 1 (8-oz) package cream cheese, softened
  • ¾ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ pound bacon, cooked and chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350ºF (175ºC). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and place a baking rack on top. This setup allows air circulation and prevents sogginess.
  2. Prepare Mushrooms: Clean the white button mushrooms with a damp cloth and carefully remove the stems from each mushroom, creating a hollow space for the filling.
  3. Make Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, minced garlic, drained diced jalapeños, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped cooked bacon. Mix well until evenly incorporated.
  4. Stuff Mushrooms: Spoon the cream cheese mixture generously into each mushroom cap, filling them evenly. Arrange the stuffed mushrooms in a single layer on the prepared baking rack.
  5. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the mushrooms are tender.

Notes

  • For a milder version, use less jalapeños or substitute with milder peppers.
  • Bacon can be substituted with a vegetarian bacon alternative to make it vegetarian-friendly.
  • Be sure to drain the diced jalapeños well to prevent excess moisture in the filling.
  • Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
  • This appetizer can be prepared ahead of time and baked just before serving.
