Recipe - Bacon-Wrapped Mushrooms

1 pound Bacon
1 pound Fresh mushrooms, washed
Toothpicks

1. Cut the mushrooms in half. If it is a very small mushroom, leave it
whole. If it is an oversized mushroom, cut into thirds or fourths.

2. Slice bacon in half (widthwise) at an angle. To do this, hold the knife
perpendicular to the bacon, then turn the knife slightly so that the knife
is now at an angle, then slice the bacon.

3. Take a slice of bacon and wrap it around a mushroom half, overlap the
ends, and poke a toothpick about halfway into the mushroom at the overlap.

4. Repeat this for each bacon slice and mushroom half.

5. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

6. Arrange mushrooms on a drip pan about 1/2inch apart. Bake for 20
minutes. Serve hot.

NOTES: Depending on how thick the bacon is, you may need more than 1 pound.
Also, don't let soak mushrooms in water or they'll absorb too much water
and then they'll shrink and crack.
