Ingredients

• 30 to 35 large fresh mushrooms
• 1/4 pound Canadian bacon, diced

Remove stems from mushrooms and finely chop; set caps aside. In a large skillet, saute the mushrooms, bacon, red pepper, onion, salt and pepper in oil until vegetables are crisp-tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer.
Remove from the heat. Stir in cheeses. Fill each mushroom cap with about 1 tablespoon of filling.
Place on foil-lined baking sheets.

Bake at 400° for 16-20 minutes or until mushrooms are tender. Yield: 30-35 appetizers.
