How To Make Air Fryer Blue Bacon Stuffed Mushrooms
Air Fryer Blue Bacon Stuffed Mushrooms Recipe Tips
- Choose the right type of mushrooms. Small button mushrooms or cremini mushrooms are best for stuffing and air frying.
- Clean the mushrooms well. Be sure to rinse the mushrooms thoroughly and remove any dirt or debris.
- Stuff the mushrooms generously. The key to perfectly cooked stuffed mushrooms is to ensure they are packed full of filling.
- Use a light coating of oil. Before air frying, brush the outside of each mushroom with a light oil coating.
- Cook in batches. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook the stuffed mushrooms in batches.
Air Fryer Blue Bacon Stuffed Mushrooms Recipe Faqs
Can I make these stuffed mushrooms ahead of time? Yes! You can assemble the mushrooms and store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before air frying.
What kind of mushrooms work best for this recipe? Button or cremini mushrooms are ideal since they hold their shape well and have the perfect size for stuffing.
How do I prevent the mushrooms from getting soggy? Make sure to pat them dry before stuffing, and avoid overfilling with wet ingredients. Air frying at the right temperature also helps keep them crispy.
Can I use a different cheese instead of blue cheese? Absolutely! Try feta, goat cheese, or shredded cheddar for a different flavor profile.
How do I store and reheat leftovers? Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 3-5 minutes to maintain crispiness.

Air Fryer Blue Bacon Stuffed Mushrooms
Description
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 6 large Portobello Mushroom Caps, stems and gills removed
- 6 strips bacon
- 1 pound ground bean
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon rosemary
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 ounces blue cheese
Instructions
- With a pastry brush, brush olive oil on the outside of each mushroom cap, and around the interior and edges.
- Cook bacon, turning occasionally, in a large skillet set over medium heat until cooked through and crispy, approximately 8-10 minutes. Transfer bacon to a plate lined with paper towels and blot off excess grease. Crumble the bacon and set it aside.
- Carefully drain and discard almost all of the bacon grease from the skillet. Add the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, if using, and the dried rosemary. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste, and stir to combine.
- Cook over medium heat, breaking up the beef with a wooden spoon while stirring until the meat is mostly browned, but still a little pink in some places, approximately 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and drain excess grease from the skillet, if necessary.
- Stir the crumbled bacon and blue cheese into the ground beef and stir to combine. Carefully spoon the mixture into the mushroom caps. Place the stuffed mushroom caps into the air fryer and cook for 8 to 10 minutes at 350 degrees F.
- Remove from oven and serve immediately with a little extra blue cheese sprinkled on top, if desired.
Equipment
- Cooking Spray
- Parchment Paper, optional
