Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cook 2-3 slices of bacon until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
  3. Sauté 2-3 minced garlic cloves in the skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Add 2 cups of fresh spinach into the skillet and cook for about 2 minutes until wilted.
  5. Fold in the crab meat and add onion powder, seasoning salt, and Old Bay seasoning. Mix for another 2-3 minutes.
  6. In a bowl, beat 8 ounces of cream cheese until smooth. Stir in the crab and spinach mixture along with 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese.
  7. Clean the mushroom caps and place them upside down on a foil-lined baking sheet.
  8. Fill each mushroom cap with 1-1.5 tablespoons of crab filling, mounding slightly. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
  9. Bake for about 15 minutes until mushrooms are tender and tops are lightly golden.
  10. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
