How to Make Make Ahead Bacon And Cheddar Stuffed Mushrooms

Place 4 slices of bacon in a large, deep skillet.
Cook over medium-high heat until evenly brown (about 5-7 minutes).
Remove bacon from skillet, drain on paper towels, dice, and set aside.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Gently remove stems from 1 pound of large mushrooms (cremini or button), reserving caps.
Finely chop the mushroom stems.
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Add the chopped mushroom stems and 1/2 cup of chopped onion to the saucepan. Cook and stir until the onion is softened (about 5 minutes).
Remove from heat.
In a medium bowl, combine the mushroom stem mixture, diced bacon, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional), and salt and pepper to taste.
Mix well and spoon the mixture into the mushroom caps.
Place the stuffed mushrooms in a baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from oven and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
Return to the oven for a couple of seconds to melt the remaining cheese, if desired.
To freeze: flash-freeze the unbaked stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet before transferring them to a freezer bag for long-term storage.
To bake from frozen: let them thaw completely, then add cheese and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until heated through.
