All the flavors of jalapeño poppers are stuffed into mushrooms and topped with a crunchy Panko topping. These Jalapeño Popper Stuffed Mushrooms are the perfect side dish or appetizer for any occasion.
Okay I might actually be obsessed with jalapeño popper everything. But these might be my favorite of all the jalapeño popper recipes. Jalapeño Popper Stuffed Mushrooms are creamy, spicy, crunchy, and absolutely delicious. Even my most picky family members liked these mushrooms! Even mushroom haters will like these mushrooms! I promise.
The cream cheese, bacon, cheese and jalapeño stuffed makes every bite of the mushrooms irresistibly creamy and the crunchy Panko topping adds that little extra something to make you go “oooohhhhhh these are good.” Really. I bet you’ll say that.
Oh, and did I mention these are super simple to make? I have to give credit for my sister because she did most of the work on these, while I sat back, drank wine and watched. Maybe that made them taste even better?
