Stuffed Mushrooms

This is a really yummy appetizer that you can stuff with just about anything you like. The night I made these, I did them the following way:

2 boxes of cream cheese

1 bag of "real bacon" (found near the salad dressing at the store)

4 chopped green onions with scallions

dash of salt and pepper

2 large boxes of whole mushrooms

Do not rinse the mushrooms but rather wipe them off with a wet paper towel. If you rinse them they'll absorb the water and get spongy. Remove the stems (with a spoon if you have to). Mix the remaining ingredients together till creamy. Fill the mushroom stem holes with the cream cheese filling and pile it high. Bake on a foil covered cookie sheet at about 375 till lightly browned on top.

Variations-

add chopped crab or lobster meat

add cilantro

omit the bacon and add sun-dried tomatoes and grated Parmesan cheese

omit cream cheese and bacon and add feta and chopped spinach
