Ingredients

  • 3 turkey bacon strips, diced
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) french-style green beans, drained
  • 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided

Instructions

  • 1. In a small skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Place the green beans, 1/2 cup cheese, soup, water, nutmeg, pepper and bacon mixture in a food processor; process until blended. Transfer to a small bowl; fold in bread crumbs.

    After baking mushroom caps, drain and stuff mushrooms. Cool. Freeze on waxed paper-lined baking sheets until firm. Transfer to freezer containers; return to freezer. To use, bake mushrooms as directed, increasing time as necessary to heat through.
