Bacon stuffed Mushrooms
INGREDIENTS
3 slices bacon
8 crimini mushrooms
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon chopped onion
3/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
DIRECTIONS
Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, dice and set aside.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Remove mushroom stems. Set aside caps. Chop the stems.
In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Slowly cook and stir the chopped stems and onion until the onion is soft. Remove from heat.
In a medium bowl, stir together the mushroom stem mixture, bacon and 1/2 cup Cheddar. Mix well and scoop the mixture into the mushroom caps.

Answer 2

For an extremely sophisticated hors d'oeuvre, stuff fresh dates (pitted, of course) with whole blanched almonds, then wrap each date with a strip of bacon and spear with a toothpick. Place them on a cookie sheet and bake in a hot oven, making sure not to burn the bacon, for about 20-30 minutes. It may sound a little strange, but the combination of the ultra sweet dripping hot date with the crunchy nut, topped off with the salty fat of the bacon makes a very decadent treat. It's extremely easy and very showy.

Otherwise, other quick ideas would be to place the bacon in a quiche (on the bottom of a pie crust, top with egg and milk whipped up with shredded swiss cheese). When I cooked at a pub-restaurant, a very popular dish was a baked chicken breast, then topped with a slab of bacon and shredded cheddar cheese, which you place under the broiler for a minute or so...really spices up your chicken dinner. Hmmm, also, you could cook the bacon and use it as topping for salads or additions to sandwiches. Cooked bacon will last a good while in the fridge, too.

Enjoy!

Well I guess if you're going to poison it with the bacon this won't be bad .I love it.Buy a pack of your favorite hotdogs or weiners whatever they are called where you're from.I buy chicken weiners it helps with some of the guilt (lol).Start by making a small slit longways about half way down inside and place some cheese like cheddar or motzerella or whatever you prefer and then wrap one slice of bacon aroung the weiner and put in a hot oven of350 and cook and remove before the cheese starts to burn usually 12 to 15 minutes drain the grease and enjoy .I'm from N.C.and that's what we here call a poor redneck suppermeat.Oh I forgot to mention you can put a tooth pick in the end of the bacon if it don't want to lay right.Bon-appetit

Answer 5

Take some hot dogs, slice them lengthwise (not all the way thru), put some chopped onions, and small bits of longhorn colby or other cheese in the slit. Wrap the hot dog in the bacon close together, so that the cheese and onions can't easily fall out. Secure the bacon with some toothpicks. Put the hotdogs upside down on a grilling rack and put under broiler until done on one side, then flip with tongs and broil on the other side until done. Take out toothpicks and serve on a bun or bread.
