Blue Bacon Stuffed Mushrooms

 Prep Time:  5 minutes    Cook Time:  33 minutes    Total Time:  35 minutes

Serves 3

Yield: 6 mushrooms

3 strips bacon

6 large mushrooms

1 Tbsp butter

1/2 onion, diced

1 clove garlic, sliced

3 oz cream cheese

3 oz blue cheese

1/3 cup bread crumbs

1.  Cook bacon strips in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy; drain on paper towels. While the bacon is cooking, remove stems from mushrooms.  Set caps aside, and chop stems.

2.  Add butter to skillet with bacon grease.  When melted, stir in mushroom stems, onion, and garlic.  Cook, stirring frequently until the onions caramelize, 15 to 20 minutes.

3.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Spray a small baking dish with cooking spray.

4.  Once the onion mixture has reached a deep, rich brown color, place into a blender along with bacon, cream cheese, blue cheese, and bread crumbs.  Blend on low until ingredients are roughly chopped and evenly combined.  Stuff cheese mixture into mushroom caps and place into prepared baking dish.

5.  Bake in preheated oven until bubbly and lightly browned, 10-15 minutes.
