Notes

Stuffed Mushrooms
large mushroom caps about 1 1/2 inches in diameter
2 T dip per cap
Wipe mushrooms clean with a damp cloth and remove stems. Fill caps with generously with dip. Place in a greased baking dish. Bake at 375 for about 20 minutes, mushrooms should be hot and golden
Note: flavor is always better when you can cook the bacon and crumble the cheese yourself, but in this fast and easy dip, feel free to use precooked bacon and blue cheese crumbles for ease of preparation
