Artichoke Dip Stuffed Mushrooms

Good morning! Can you believe it's already July? This year is just flying by!

I wanted to let you know that I will be taking a break from my blog for the next few days to spend time with my family. While I'm away I am having some changes made to the layout here. So if you happen to stop by and things seem out of place, no worries! It'll all be back to normal shortly and with a brand new look! I'm so excited!!

In the meantime, I think you're really going to love these mushrooms! They make an excellent appetizer or side dish. You can even serve them as a main dish with some garlic bread and salad on the side. Ridiculously delicious!

I use my own recipe for Baked Artichoke Dip, but that is not necessary. If there's a store brand that you love, I am sure it would work just the same. Enjoy!

Ingredients:
20 Cremini mushrooms, washed and stems removed
Artichoke Dip, prepared as directed
1/4 cup bread crumbs
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly shredded
2 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled *optional
small amount of olive oil

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees
Spray the bottom of  a 9x13 baking dish (you'll needed 2), or 1 rimmed cookie sheet, with cooking spray. Brush each mushroom with a small amount of olive oil and lay in rows open side up. Fill each mushroom with prepared artichoke dip. Sprinkle each mushroom with a small amount of bread crumbs and top with a small amount of Parmesan Cheese. Bake at 375 for about 10 - 15 minutes. Just until the top of each starts to brown and cheese melts. Remove from oven. Garnish with bacon crumbles, if desired. Serve immediately.

I know these last few posts have involved  a dash or two of bacon. My friends don't call me "Bacon Bits" for nothing! (That's a whole other story for another time) Hope you all enjoy your week! And for those who will be celebrating, have a super fab 4Th!
