You might have heard of stuffed mushroom caps filled with bacon and crab or even blue cheese, but this recipe is a trashier version. From The Vulgar Chef, the Mac n' Cheese Bacon Weave Stuffed Mushrooms can also be found in his new cookbook, the 'Eat Like Shit Cookbook.' If you aren't super into mushrooms, but are interested in trying, this recipe has minimal fungi and is mostly macaroni and cheese with mashed potato and a bit of bacon criss-crossed on top.
To make your own stuffed mushroom caps at home, you will need large caps, prepared cheesy macaroni, prepared mashed potatoes and a few slices of thick-cut bacon. You can also add extras like chipotle seasoning or jalapeno.
