Bacon Wrapped Mushrooms

  • 1 pound(s) bacon
  • 1 pound(s) mushroom(s); washed
  • toothpicks

Cut the mushrooms in half. If it is a very small mushroom, leave it whole. If it is an oversized mushroom, cut into thirds or fourths.

Slice bacon in half (width-wise) at an angle. To do this, hold the knife perpendicular to the bacon, then turn the knife slightly so that the knife is now at an angle, then slice the bacon.

Take a slice of bacon and wrap it around a mushroom half, overlap the ends, and poke a toothpick about half-way into the mushroom at the overlap.
Repeat this for each bacon slice and mushroom half.

Preheat oven to 350°F. Arrange mushrooms on a drip pan about 1/2 inch apart. Bake for 20 minutes. Serve hot.
