Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pkg whole mushrooms large size
whatever stuffing or mashed potato you have left over from Thanksgiving
1 medium sweet onion
1 c parsley, Italian
2 large eggs
1/2 lb crisp bacon
1 c cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 c Panko bread crumbs
1 stick butter, melted
6 medium baked potatoes

Steps:

1. Clean the mushroom with a damp paper towel. Remove the stems and reserve them.
2. Using a spoon, split the baked potatoes in half. Remove the flesh of the potato leaving the shells intact.
3. Add the potato to your mashed leftovers. Preheat oven to 350.
4. Chop the onions and the mushroom stems finely. In separate pans, sauté the onion and mushroom stems in a little bit of butter until tender.
5. Add the mushrooms to your stuffing.
6. Add the onions to your potato.
7. Crumble the bacon and add to the mashed potato with the cheddar cheese, mixing well.
8. Using a spoon, fill the mushroom caps with the stuffing mixture.
9. Fill the potato with the potato mixture.
10. Sprinkle the tops with the Panko bread crumbs with the remainder of the butter and bake in a preheated oven in separate pans for 45 minutes.
11. Check the mushrooms after about 30 minutes as they will likely finish before the potato. Garnish with the chopped parsley and enjoy! :)
