Bacon & Ranch Stuffed Mushrooms with Crunchy Topping

Ingredients

  • 1 pound of large button mushrooms
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons of bacon bits (store-bought or homemade)
  • 4 ounces of cream cheese
  • 1 tablespoon of Uncle Dan’s Zesty Ranch Seasoning and Salad Dressing
  • 4 tablespoons of crushed corn chips
  • 1 tablespoon of shredded pepper jack cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375ºF.
  2. Remove mushroom stems from tops and discard. Place mushroom tops in a bowl and drizzle with the olive oil. Gently toss or stir to completely coat mushrooms in oil.
  3. Place the mushroom tops on a sheet pan, open side up, and roast in the oven for 10-12 minutes.
  4. While the mushrooms are roasting, prepare the filling. Place the cream cheese, bacon bits, and Uncle Dan’s Zesty Ranch mix in the bowl of an electric mixer. Mix at low speed until ingredients are incorporated, then mix on medium-high speed for 3-4 minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl once or twice during mixing.
  5. Once the mushrooms are done roasting, spoon a heaping spoonful of the cream cheese mixture into each mushroom top.
  6. Prepare the topping by placing two handfuls of corn tortilla chips in a plastic sandwich bag and crushing them into crumbs. Add shredded cheese to the crumbs and toss to mix.
  7. Top each filled mushroom with about 1 teaspoon of the crunchy topping.
  8. Place the stuffed mushroom tops back in the oven for 10-12 minutes. Once done, remove from the oven and serve.
