Crockpot Beef Heart Stuffed With Bacon Mushrooms And Onions Recipe 4

Steps:

• Cook the bacon. Remove from pan and rough chop. Healthy saute the mushrooms, garlic and onions in a frying pan with 1/3 c. beef broth. Add bacon to the mix when veggies are cooked. Clean the heart by trimming off most of the fat and any obvious arteries from the outside. Then stuff all of the frying-pan ingredients into the heart cavity. Really stuff it full and then use toothpicks -- the longer the better -- to hold it together. You can also using cooking twine. Put the stuffed heart in the crock pot along with the broth and olive oil and some more garlic. Cook for 11-12 hours on low. Don't skimp on the cooking time, or else you risk ending up with tough rubbery meat. Mine turned out pretty fantastic. The heart sometimes falls apart because it is so juicy and tender.

Steps:

• Clean mushrooms, remove stems.
• Fry bacon until crisp and then crumble.
• Sauté onions in a bit of the bacon grease until softened.
• In a small bowl mix crumbled bacon, Miracle Whip and onions. Sometimes I go ahead and mix in cheese.
• Fill each cap with mixture, then if you didn't mix in your cheese already, sprinkle the tops with cheese.
• Bake at 300°F until cheese is melted and warmed through.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Remove stems from mushrooms. Chop stems finely and reserve. Place mushroom caps in a baking dish.
• In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crispy.
• Remove bacon from pan and place on a paper towel-lined plate. Leave bacon grease in pan.
• Add onions and carrots, turning heat down if needed to keep onions from burning. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until onions are translucent and carrots are softening. Add chopped mushroom stems, pepper, garlic, and finely diced chicken. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until mushrooms are cooked.
• Add red wine and increase heat to medium-high. Continue to cook and stir until nearly all of the liquid is gone. Remove from heat and stir in thyme.
• Pour mixture into a bowl to cool slightly. Add cheese and cooked bacon and stir to combine. Using a spoon, fill mushroom caps with this mixture - it's okay if they overflow a little.
• Sprinkle Panko bread crumbs over mushrooms.
• Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool to touch and serve.
