Jalapeno Stuffed Mushrooms

These jalapeno stuffed mushrooms are the perfect little snack or appetizer. The filling which consists of cream cheese, bacon, jalapeno and cheddar is the most perfect combination of flavors. The creaminess of the cream cheese, the heat from the jalapeno pepper and the saltiness and smokiness of the bacon create such an exciting blend of flavors. You may remove the jalapeno seeds to make these jalapeno bacon mushroom poppers a bit milder. The mushroom caps are first baked without the filling to get as much of the liquid out of the mushrooms as possible. Then, the filling is added and is returned to the oven until the filling is bubbling.
