Crumble bacon and combine with cheese and red onion in skillet.

Tips & Warnings

Options for filling - shrimp, veggies, hamburger, sausage.
Get creative! Add pimientos for a touch of red for the holidays, or a dob of sour cream topped with a slice of green olive at Halloween for mushroom "eyeballs".
To stabilize the mushrooms, slice off a bit of the cap top before filling so they will sit flat on the baking sheet.
You can stuff the mushrooms a day ahead, and bake them the day of.
