Easy, Cheesy Bacon Stuffed Mushrooms








8 to 12 large mushrooms, washed, wiped and stems removed
1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese
5 strips bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
1/3 cup fresh bread crumbs

Heat toaster oven to 450 degrees. Cook mushrooms for about 6 minutes. Carefully drain accumulated juice from mushroom caps into mixing bowl. Add cheese, bacon, and bread crumbs. Mix to combine.

Adjust oven to BROIL. Set rack about 3 inches from heat source.

Stuff mushroom caps with filling. Mound slightly. Cook, watching constantly, for about 2 or 3 minutes. Tops should be golden brown when ready.

Appetizer for 2 or 3. Easy to double or triple to serve more.
