Yield 12
Number Of Ingredients 14
Steps:
- Place 1/2 of the bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1/4 of the diced onion and 4 chopped garlic cloves and lightly saute until soft, about 3 minutes. Remove to a large bowl, and add ground beef, ground pork, eggs, parsley, paprika, pepper, and sea salt. Blend together with your hands until mostly combined. Place in the refrigerator.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lay a 2-foot square piece of aluminum foil on a flat surface.
- Wipe the skillet clean, add remaining 1 tablespoon oil, and heat over medium heat until shimmering, 1 to 2 minutes. Add mushrooms and saute until all moisture has evaporated and mushrooms start to turn dark reddish-brown with golden spots, 8 to 10 minutes. Add remaining 2 cloves chopped garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Place meat mixture in the center of the aluminum foil and shape meat into an evenly thick square about 1/2 inch thick, making sure there are no gaps or thin spots. Cover meat with overlapping slices of Provolone cheese, leaving about 1/2 inch to 1 inch uncovered meat around the perimeter. Lay cooked bacon strips over Provolone cheese and spread mushrooms evenly over bacon.
- Lift one end of the foil and begin rolling the meat in a pinwheel fashion. Place meatloaf in a baking dish, molding the ends to create a seal around the stuffing; discard the foil. Lay remaining uncooked bacon over meatloaf, leaving about 1/4 inch between each slice, and tucking ends in under the loaf.
- Cook in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, turning halfway. Switch to the broil setting and cook until meat is no longer pink in the center, about 15 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the meat should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
- Remove from the oven and allow to rest 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.

STUFFED MUSHROOMS WITH CREAM CHEESE & SAUSAGE
I first had these back in high school - too many years ago to think about now. I've been making them ever since. Now, whenever any of my friends have a get-together, I'm expected to bring them! You've been warned!! They're addictive.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 Fahrenheit.
- Separate caps and stems while cleaning the mushrooms.
- If cleaning with water, let them drain for a bit.
- Start cooking the sausage in frying pan, at a medium to medium/high temperature.
- While the sausage is cooking, put the cream cheese into a mixing bowl so it can soften and mince the stem pieces.
- Spice the sausage to taste. Garlic is a good addition.
- Just before the sausage is done, add the stem pieces and finish cooking.
- Drain off the excess grease and add the sausage/stem mixture into the cream cheese.
- Mix together well using a wooden spoon or your hands. Be careful, as it will be rather hot.
- Set the caps into a 13x9 pan (or larger) with sides.
- Optional! Melt enough butter to just put a little in the bottom of each cap or just brush some over the top of each after they're filled. You can put any extra butter in the bottom of the pan.
- Fill the caps with the cream cheese/sausage/stem mix.
- Add a small amount of water to the bottom of the pan, just enough to cover the bottom.
- Bake for 30 to 45 minutes, or until the tops are crusty and the mushrooms have turned dark.
- Scoop them out of the pan with a slotted spoon and arrange them on a plate.
- Serve warm. They reheat well, so you can make them ahead of time.
- *VARIATION 1: Add dried bread crumbs to the mix to make a larger batch without adding more cream cheese or sausage. Onions are also another popular addition.
- *VARIATION 2: Use one 8oz. box of cream cheese to two 8oz. pkgs of sausage. It makes for a larger batch that is less rich and tastes just as good.
- *FUN HINTS: The cream cheese mix is also very good on bread or crackers! This comes in handy if you you think there might be someone who doesn't like mushrooms - save some of the mix to the side for them to dip with.
CRISPY CHICKEN BREASTS STUFFED WITH MUSHROOMS AND GOAT CHEESE
Steps:
- For the chicken: Coat a large saute pan with olive oil, toss in the shallots, season with salt and bring the pan to a medium-high heat. Cook the shallots for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Toss the chicken livers into the pan, stir to combine and cook for 2 minutes. Toss in the mushrooms, stir to combine and season with salt. Cook the mushrooms until they are soft and wilted, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Add the wine and cook, stirring frequently, until the mushroom mixture is almost dry. Remove from the heat and let cool.
- Transfer the cooled mushroom mixture to a medium bowl, add the goat cheese and chives and mix until it is a homogeneous mixture. Put the mushroom mixture in a disposable piping bag and reserve.
- Using a paring knife or boning knife, make an incision in the thick end of each chicken breast. Insert the knife all the way into the chicken breast and slide it back and forth to create a pocket. Try not to poke the knife through the top or bottom of the chicken.
- Squeeze the mushroom filling into each chicken breast.
- In 3 separate wide, shallow containers, set up a standard breading procedure: one container of flour, one with the beaten egg mixture and one with the panko.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt. Using one hand for wet things and one hand for dry things, dredge each chicken breast in the flour. Dip in the egg wash and then pack panko onto each chicken breast. Lay the chicken breasts on a sheet tray and let them rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Set up a tray lined with paper towels. Take the chicken breasts out of the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Coat a large saute pan with olive oil and bring the pan to a medium-high heat. Work in batches if all the chicken breasts do not fit in the pan at the same time. Cook the chicken until well browned on both sides, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Remove the browned chicken and blot it on the paper towels; season with salt immediately. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
- When all the chicken has been browned and blotted, place the chicken breasts on a wire rack set over a sheet tray and continue to cook for 10 to 15 minutes more in the oven.
- For the sauce: Meanwhile, ditch the fat from the pan and add the wine. Reduce the wine by half. Add half the chicken stock and reduce that by half. Add the remaining chicken stock and reduce that by half also (this will take a little time so be patient).
- Taste the reduced stock and season with salt if needed. Remove the pan from the heat and swirl in the butter.
- Plate the chicken and spoon the pan sauce over the chicken.

Steps:
- Lightly brush olive oil on both sides of the potobello mushroom caps then sprinkle the inside lightly with salt (this is optional but I most always do!).
- In a skillet brown the sausage meat with green onions crumbling into very small pieces until browned; drain any fat then cool.
- In a medium bowl beat eggs with milk, fresh parsley, basil, fresh garlic, cayenne pepper or hot sauce until well combined.
- Add in the Parmesan cheese and the ground croutons starting with about 1-1/2 cups ground croutons, you might have to add in more later; mix with a wooden spoon until combined.
- Add in the cooked sausage/onion mixture; mix well (the mixture should be wet but still firm enough to hold together if the mixture is too soft add in a small amount more of the croutons at a time just until the mixture binds together).
- Season mixture with black pepper to taste.
- Spoon the sausage mixture evenly between the portobella mushroom tops.
- Place on a lightly greased baking sheet.
- Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 15-20 minutes.
- Sprinkle the tops with grated mozzeralla cheese.
- Delicious!
