    These smoked stuffed mushrooms are filled with bacon, cheddar, and spices and then smoked to delicious perfection. They're the perfect appetizer or side.

    I don't know about you, but I love stuffed mushrooms. Of course, you can go the traditional route of bread crumbs, but that's been done so many times. Why not stuff those suckers with bacon and cheese and smoke them?

    You only need a few easy ingredients to make this delicious recipe. They're all readily available at your local grocery store, and you probably already have some of them in the kitchen right now.

    • Button mushrooms
    • Cream cheese - room temperature
    • Shredded cheddar cheese
    • Real bacon bits or crumbles
    • Green onions - chopped
    • Granulated garlic
    • Sea salt
    • Coarsely ground pepper

    See the recipe card at the bottom of the post for amounts and cooking times.

    Instructions

    This recipe is super easy. Just a few ingredients and a few simple steps, and you'll have one delicious side or appetizer that everyone loves.

    Step 1: Prep

    Preheat your pellet smoker to 275 degrees, then, remove the stems from all the mushrooms.

    Step 2: Mix the Filling

    Mix all remaining ingredients except for ½ cup of shredded cheese well.

    Step 3: Fill the Mushrooms

    Fill each mushroom until the filling comes just over the top.

    Step 4: Add Remaining Cheese

    Top each mushroom with the remaining shredded cheese and place them on the grate of your smoker.

    Step 5: Smoke

    Smoke until the cheese is melted and the mushrooms feel soft but not rubbery.

    Hint: You can use a spoon to fill the mushrooms, but it's easier to use a frosting bag with a large, circular tip.

    Notes

    You don’t have to use a frosting bag, but it makes the process of filling the mushrooms quite a bit quicker and it makes them look much nicer when serving. It also helps ensure that every crevice of the mushroom is filled on the inside and there are no pockets.
    You can use any kind of mushroom you prefer, as long as they are a button style mushroom, as not all mushrooms can be filled like these.
    There’s no internal temperature you have to monitor when it comes to mushrooms. So no worries about that part.
    I used Traeger brand cherry pellets and highly recommend the name brand pellets as I can’t tell you how much of a difference it makes. As far as flavor of the pellets, you can use any you like, but definitely use a better brand for the best results.
