Stuffed Mushrooms with Spicy Pepper

 

Cheddar cheese, cream cheese, bacon, spicy jalapeños, and garlic are the ingredients in this delicious snack. These mushrooms are a tasty finger food that is great for any occasion due to the delicious filling inside them.

This amazing mixed dish is great for when you want snack ideas, are organizing a gathering, or can't choose between stuffed mushrooms and poppers. With each bite, you might discover different flavors and feelings.

No one leaves the buffet table without some of these tasty mushrooms with spicy jalapenos. Prepare these ahead of time and heat them up when you are ready. If you needed more reasons to try these mushroom poppers, they are also very low in carbs.

Since the mushroom poppers will be served hot, they need to cool down before you can eat them. Don't forget to give out napkins when serving finger foods.

Can you get them ready ahead of time?

You can prepare everything ahead of time, keep it in the refrigerator, and cook it when you want.

Use smoked gouda instead of cheddar and small peppers instead of mushrooms in this recipe. Use sun-dried tomatoes instead of bacon if you don't eat meat.

Ingredients needed:

The common white mushroom in its entirety

Pimientos rojos

Chopped fresh garlic.

Cheese that has been cut into small pieces.

Cheese spread

Bacon, cooked and cut into pieces.

Grandma’s Old-Fashioned Bread Recipe

 

Ingredients for Grandma’s Bread

To make two loaves of delicious homemade bread, you’ll need:

6–7 cups all-purpose flour (or bread flour for extra texture)

2 ¼ tsp (1 packet) active dry yeast

2 ½ cups warm water (about 110°F, warm to the touch)

2 tbsp granulated sugar

1 tbsp salt

2 tbsp vegetable oil (or melted butter for a richer taste)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Activate the Yeast

In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and sugar.

Sprinkle the yeast over the surface of the water and let it sit for about 5–10 minutes until it becomes frothy. This indicates the yeast is active and ready to use.

2. Mix the Dough

Add the salt and oil to the yeast mixture. Stir well.

Gradually add 4 cups of flour, one cup at a time, mixing until a thick batter forms.

Continue adding flour, ½ cup at a time, until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl and forms a soft, slightly sticky ball.

3. Knead the Dough

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface.

Knead for about 8–10 minutes, adding small amounts of flour as needed, until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.

4. First Rise

Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning it to coat all sides.

Cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap.

Let the dough rise in a warm place for 1–1.5 hours, or until it doubles in size.

5. Shape the Loaves

Punch down the risen dough to release air bubbles.

Divide it into two equal portions. Shape each portion into a loaf by flattening the dough, rolling it tightly, and pinching the seams closed.

Place the loaves in greased 9×5-inch bread pans.

6. Second Rise

Cover the pans with a towel and let the dough rise again for 30–45 minutes, until it domes just above the edge of the pans.

7. Bake

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Bake the loaves for 25–30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.

Remove the loaves from the pans and let them cool on a wire rack before slicing.

Tips for Perfect Bread

Check your yeast: If it doesn’t foam during activation, it might be expired. Start over with fresh yeast.

Don’t rush the rise: The flavor and texture develop during the rising process, so be patient.

Add-ins: For a twist, mix in seeds, herbs, or shredded cheese for a unique loaf.

Storage: Store bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.

Why Grandma’s Bread is Special

Grandma’s old-fashioned bread isn’t just about ingredients and techniques—it’s about love, tradition, and the simple joys of homemade food. Each slice carries the warmth of home and the pride of making something from scratch. Serve it with butter, jam, or your favorite spread, and share it with loved ones for an unforgettable experience.

Enjoy!

1 cup granulated sugar

4 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup cornstarch

1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

Prepare the Ingredients:

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, cornstarch, and 1 cup of the milk until smooth. Set aside.

Heat the Milk:

In a large saucepan, heat the remaining 3 cups of milk over medium heat until it just begins to boil. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching.
