Blue Bacon Stuffed Mushrooms (Lori Wall)

3 strips of bacon
6 lg. mushrooms
1 Tbsp butter
1/2 onion diced
1 clove garlic, sliced
3 oz. cream cheese
3 oz. blue cheese
1/3 bread crumbs

1.  Cook bacon in a large skillet until crispy.  Drain on paper towels. Remove stems of 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 - 20 minutes.
3. Preheat oven to 350.  Spray a small baking dish with cooking spray.
4.  Once onion mixture has reached a  deep rich brown colour, place into a blender along with bacon, cream cheese, blue cheese, 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 min.

(Note - i usually double this  - they go fast!!)
