How To Prep Mushrooms To Be Stuffed
Mushrooms have a lot of water in them, so if you don’t have to wash or rinse them, then don’t. It’s better to gently wipe off any dirt with a paper towel or a small vegetable brush after removing the stem.
You can also dry sauté them in a hot skillet, which will eliminate some of the internal water, and make them hold up better when they are stuffed. Just toss them around in a hot sauté pan until they turn a little golden brown.
How Long To Bake Them
- Before assembling and baking Jalapeno Popper Stuffed Mushrooms, make sure the bacon is crispy and the fat is drained off.
- Select uniformly sized mushroom caps and fill each one with the same amount of filling so they bake uniformly.
- Once assembled in a casserole dish, bake them about 15 minutes at 350˚F or until the tops are bubbly and hot.
- Cover with aluminum foil and take to a party or a potluck!
Be sure not to over bake jalapeno stuffed mushrooms since the cream cheese mixture will become too soft and overflow over the outside of the mushrooms, resulting in a messy snack that is not fun to eat!
Can You Make These Stuffed Mushrooms in Advance?
You sure can!
- Assemble and stuff the mushrooms, cover and refrigerate. Bake when you are ready.
- You can bake them in advance, allow to cool completely, cover and refrigerate until ready. They will last 1-2 days in the refrigerator. To reheat, pop them back in the oven for about 10 minutes or until just warmed. You can also gently warm them in the microwave for a few seconds.
What To Do With Leftover Stuffed Mushrooms
Since these reheat so well, they are easily refreshed with a little dash of salt and pepper or some extra bacon bits on the top. Even a splash of Tabasco or ?

REPIN this Delicious Appetizer!
I made these many times but now the recipe does not come up, WHY?
I had to try these as they combine two of our favorite things, poppers and stuffed mushrooms. I did change some things according to what I had on hand.I used blue cheese instead of parmesan and left out the sour cream as I thought the blue cheese would give enough ‘tang’. I also chopped the stems and added some to the mixture. I used fresh jalapenos roasted over an open flame. They turned out very good, thank you for posting this recipe as it never occurred to me to combine the two. : )
Yum. I can’t wait to try this. I have a ton of hot peppers in my garden!
