Keto Stuffed Mushrooms

Sunday dinner, like any social event, is hard to keep low carb. I figured the carb count is going to be high so where I can make a difference I do.

I ended up owning appetizers last night so I decided to keep it low carb. Stuffed Mushrooms is an all time favorite and, relatively speaking, are low carb on their own. Most recipes have breadcrumbs and few other yummy bits.

This recipe has no bread crumbs and is delicious. Super easy to make, takes just a small amount of planning so the cream cheese is softened, but otherwise, easy to pull together.

Recipe from dietdoctor.com

Serves 4-6

8 oz. bacon
12 mushrooms
2 tbsp butter
7 oz. cream cheese
3 tbsp fresh chives, finely chopped
1 tsp paprika powder
salt and pepper

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Start by frying the bacon until really crispy. Let cool and crush into crumbs. Save the bacon fat.

Remove the mushroom stems and chop them finely. Sauté in the bacon fat, adding butter if needed.

Place the mushrooms in a greased baking dish.

In a bowl, mix the crumbled bacon with the fried, chopped mushroom stems and the remaining ingredients. Add some of the mix to each mushroom.

Bake for 20 minutes or until the mushrooms turn golden brown.
