1/2 Cup Chopped Celery
1/4 Cup Chopped Onion
1/4 Cup Chopped Green Onions
1 Teaspoon Minced Garlic

Instructions
Oven – Preheat to 350

Grill:
- Follow Steps 1 – 8
- Make sure the grill is hot – about 425°
- Start with the cream cheese side down. You can use a skillet like this one or you can put the mushrooms directly on the grill (watch out for flare-ups when the cheese begins to melt!)
- Flip after about 4 minutes
- Lower the temperature to around 300°
- Close The Lid! This will help the bacon thoroughly cook!
- You’re looking at 8 minutes total grill time here.
- Try to contain yourself – these are AMAZING!!!
Notes
Put your spin on this recipe! Feel free to sub in Sharp for Smoked Cheddar, Add (Browned) Sausage or Ground Beef! Use Turkey Bacon-or leave the bacon out & make it vegetarian! Don’t have celery &/or onion? Leave em out! It’s not a deal breaker!
