Bacon Cornbread Stuffed Mushrooms



Mushrooms.... Yuck! Just the thought of them makes me gag... My darling husband on the other hand loves them. So, when we saw Sandra Lee make these on Food Network, I thought I'd give them a try. The things we do for our men... I can't tell you how good they were, but when I asked him if they were good, he said... Hell Yeah!!! So there ya go. Now... what am I going to do with the bottoms???
