Prep: 20 min. Bake: 15 min.

Yield: 24 Servings

20 15 35

Ingredients

8 bacon strips, chopped
24 medium fresh mushrooms
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
SAUCE:
2 cups (16 ounces) sour cream
1 envelope ranch dip mix
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 teaspoon grated lime peel

Directions

In a small skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove to paper towels with a slotted spoon; drain.
Remove stems from mushrooms and set caps aside; discard stems or save for another use. In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, peppers, cheddar cheese, onion and bacon. Stuff into mushroom caps.
Place in a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Bake, uncovered, at 400° for 12-15 minutes or until mushrooms are tender.
Broil 3-4 in. from the heat for 1-2 minutes or until tops are golden brown. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the sauce ingredients. Dollop 1 teaspoon sauce over each mushroom. Serve remaining sauce with fresh vegetables or save for another use. Yield: 2 dozen mushrooms plus 1-1/2 cups leftover sauce.

Editor's Note: Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.
