Hmmm I'm a sucker for stuffed mushrooms. I make ones semi like this - I get the small fresh mozz balls and just place the ball in the mushroom cap, then put a mixture of garlic, spinach, shallots, and parm cheese and spoon it around the mozz ball. It's delicious. But I will most certainly give this one a try - especially because it has bacon and hello - you're right, who doesn't love bacon?

Sounds yummy!
