Note

For best results, bake at 375&# 194;°F (190ðC) for about 10-15 minutes until the edges of the caps are golden and the filling is heated through.

Ensure you use the bacon grease for mixing; it adds essential flavor and helps bind the stuffing together.

If serving immediately, these are best warm. They can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated in the oven.
