Ingredients

• 6 slices bacon
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 8 ounces baby bella mushrooms
• 2 cloves garlic cloves
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons green onions, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons pepper
• 1 package baguette slices or crackers

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon, place it on a paper towel-lined plate, and crumble it once cooled.

Step 3

Discard most of the bacon grease from the skillet, leaving about 1 tablespoon. Add the butter to the skillet, and once melted, stir in the mushrooms. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are softened and browned.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently, until it becomes fragrant. Remove the mixture from the heat.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, green onions, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.

Step 6

Fold in the cooked mushroom and garlic mixture, as well as the crumbled bacon (reserve some bacon for garnish, if desired). Mix until evenly combined.

Step 7

Transfer the mixture into an oven-safe 1-quart baking dish. Smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the dip is bubbling and the top is lightly golden.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with additional crumbled bacon and parsley, if desired.

Step 10

Serve warm with baguette slices, crackers, or your favorite chips for dipping. Enjoy!
