2 tablespoons olive oil

1 pound button mushrooms, stems removed (about 1-inch in diameter)

1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened

¼ cup mayonnaise

2 teaspoons finely chopped onion

1 cup finely shredded cheddar cheese

6 strips bacon, cooked until crisp, drained on paper towels and crumbled

Cook the bacon until crisp, remove to paper towels to cool, then crumble. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the drippings and sauté the onion for 5 to 7 minutes, until tender.
In a small bowl, beat together the cream cheese and mayo until smooth. Add the onion, cheddar and bacon; stir until blended and set aside.
Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms in a single layer. You may have to do this step in batches. Cook until they soften and give off some of their liquid. Transfer to paper towels to drain and cool.
Stuff the mushrooms with the filling and arrange on a rack in a baking dish.
Preheat the broiler and broil until the filling is bubbling. Serve immediately.
