Smoked Gouda and Bacon Stuffed Mushrooms
This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy.
These are the stuffed mushrooms I teased you with back in November (Thanksgiving dinner). This is my sister Svetlana’s recipe and it’s quite scrumptious!
These mushrooms are stuffed with a mix of cheeses, bacon and onion and are baked to perfection. I really should stop posting recipes at night; it always makes me hungry. Imagine that.
Ingredients for Stuffed Mushrooms:
1 lb white or brown mushrooms
6-8 oz bacon, chopped
1 small/medium onion, chopped
2 cups (1/3 lb) smoked gouda cheese, finely grated
1 cup mozzarella cheese, finely grated
How to Make Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms:
1. Preheat the Oven to 400˚F. Wipe the mushrooms with a barely damp paper towel. DO NOT WASH MUSHROOMS!
2. Remove the stems from mushrooms and scrape out the centers with either a melon baller or a measuring teaspoon.
3. Mix the two cheeses together. Set 1/4 of the cheese aside
4. Saute chopped bacon with chopped onion 5-7 minutes on medium high heat until bacon is cooked through and browned. (don’t add any oil, the bacon has plenty). Stir frequently so you don’t burn your onions. Transfer the bacon and onion mix to a bowl (get rid of the excess oil in the pan).
5. Once the bacon is cooled to room temperature, mix it into the larger portion of cheese
6. Place a heaping tablespoon into each mushroom so it’s plump and full. Top each mushroom with with extra cheese
7. Bake at 400˚F for 8 minutes or until they are soft to the squeeze and just starting to look a little juicy. Don’t overcook them or they will get soggy.
YUMM!!

Hi! I'm Natasha Kravchuk. Here you'll find delicious, trusted recipes with easy step-by-step photos and videos. 
Tried this recipe to take to friends get together last night. Delicious! And everyone raved about them. I did use smoke Gouda, but didn’t have mozzarella cheese, so added a bit of regular Gouda too. I baked them for 10 min. at 400F because I had them on a stone pan. This kept the mushrooms tender and not mushy. So good. Highly recommend.
Love it, thanks for sharing some details with us. I’m glad you loved the result in this recipe!
bacon and mushroom….yuummmm..so i made these twice already they’re so delish. first time i took the time to clean all of them with wet paper towels and it was very time consuming since i made a large batch. plus schooping the insides out individualy… second time around i just washed them super fast and dried right away with paper towels and surprisingly they didn’t let out much water as i expected. i put them on a rack as well and then on top of the backing sheet.
That’s what I usually do, just wash them super fast 😬. Thank you for yet another great review!
I made this dish for our family’s Christmas dinner and everyone loved it! I decided not to put bacon inside my filling since we have some picky eaters in our family and they don’t like soggy or soft bacon inside their food. I made crispy bacon bits instead and sprinkled on top (more like dumped 2 tablespoons of hot crispy bacon bits on each mushroom! Lol) when I was ready to serve. It was a hit! 😁😀😊
I made quite a few recipes from your website and can I tell you that, everything I make something from your blog, people always ask for a recipe and are in awe how good things taste! Your blog is my FAVORITE to go to since you are so precise on your recipes and its so easy to fallow. Those pics… Very helpful too! By far, you are my favorite for amazing recipes you provide and step by step directions on how to make it too!! 😊
That is pretty much the best review ever! 😉 thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review 🙂
I made these for an appetizer and they went over so well my Dad asked me to make a batch just for him. We are Italian and are very hard critics. Thank you Natasha for your site!
That is fantastic! Thank you so much for an awesome review 🙂
I made these for New Year and we all loved them! 🙂
Thank you so much for the great review! 🙂
Hi Natasha,
I’m excited to make these for our annual labor day party at friends house, thinking everyone will love them! You are definitely my favorite “go to” person for new and delicious recipes! Love your videos as well, please keep up the great work, always look forward to new recipes!
I hope it becomes a hit, Irene and that you’ll all enjoy all that food that you will make on that day!
Hi, my son loves to cook and I would like to print the photo step-by-step recipe you have posted for him. How can I do that? Thanks!
I actually don’t have a way to do that at this point. I’ll look into it, but I don’t think I can add more than one photo with the current print function. Thanks for the suggestion! 🙂
Hi, Natasha!
Happy Easter to you and your beautiful family! Христос Воскрес! Воистину Воскрес!
Now, back to my question 🙂 I dont have gouda cheese 🙁 is it okey if I’ll use only Mexican style blend ( monterey jack, medium cheddar and asaderi cheese). They sell it at costco. I want to make these mushrooms for tomorrow and I want to try your receipe. Usually, I make stuffed mushrooms with ground beef or turkey, but I want to try ur receipe 🙂
Go ahead with the alternate cheese. It will still taste very good, it will just be Mexican cheese and bacon stuffed mushrooms 😉
These look amazing! I will be making these very soon. Do you think it is ok to fill the mushrooms a day or so before serving them and have them chill in the refrigerator until ready to bake?
That should be just fine as long as the mushrooms don’t get wet so they don’t sweat 🙂
Hey,
Just wanted to let you know that this is a great recipe! Thanks for posting.
PS.. your Step numbers are all out of order..
You are welcome Leana.Tnx for letting me know, I just fixed it :).
Natasha do you think bacon bids will work or not?
I’d use regular bacon. Bacon bits might be too dry and crunchy, but it would probably still taste good.
I have made this recipes and it was so delicious. My husband loved them and took some with him to work.
Oh now I want some too!
I made these and they tasted great. Everyone in my family said that they tasted better the next day, I think because they absorbed more of the filling taste.
That’s interesting. We never had any left over so I wondered if they were still good the next day. Thanks for sharing! Did you reheat them the next day (oven, micro?)?
Hi, I just wanted to tell you how amazing your recipes are, Tonight I made chicken marinated BBQ, me and my family enjoyed it, thanks a bunch!
Awesome!! I need to dust of my BBQ and make that recipe again! 🙂
What is the reason you say to not wash mushrooms, is it because they will absorb the water?
Yes, that is exactly right! They will absorb too much water and will get too juicy.
Made them today. Delicious and easy to make. I added a little salt and garlic pepper to the onion and bacon. Thanks for the recipe!
Mmm, I love mushrooms and I looooove smoked gouda! This recipe will definitely be made this week! 🙂
I love the bacon and smoked Gouda idea, can’t wait to try it.
Do the onions melt through all the way?
Yes, they cook through all the way with the bacon. You can hardly tell they are in the mushrooms 🙂
Tried them today, turned out DELICIOUS. Thank you for a great recipe!!! 🙂
You are very welcome! I’ll let my sister know 😉
This is perfect, I just made your gravy the other day and bought much more mushrooms than needed and was deciding what I should do with them. Perfect, now I know, I love stuffed mushrooms.
I wasent a bit lazy tonight. I went and got all the ingredients at 12am
And I have to tell you hubs & I devoured them in minutes lol! So good!! Thank you!
Ha! That’s awesome. I too am a late night snacker, but it sounds like you were really determined to eat some mushrooms! 🙂
Mmmm…… I am sure that it is a great appetizer!
Thank you, Natasha for your hard work.
We appreciate it 🙂
Thank you Victoria 🙂
