Prepare These Bacon Cheddar Stuffed Mushrooms in Advance
These stuffed mushrooms can be prepared a day or so in advance. Store them (covered) in the refrigerator until it’s time to bake. Let them sit on the counter for a short bit while your oven pre-heats so they aren’t going into the oven cold.
Storing Leftovers
These yummy mushrooms can be stored in the refrigerator for three to five days. Use an air tight container, and stack them between layers of parchment paper if you’re using a deeper container.
