My Sister Anne's Stuffed Mushrooms

Chocolatl's Note:

From Dom DeLuise. Dom suggests serving this with a green salad as a light lunch, but I think they make better appetizers. Could be a side dish as well.

This is a great recipe!! I served these at a potluck in Chile. I made 50 and they disappeared within 5 minutes! I fried the onions first, and added about a cup of breadcrumbs. My advice, be generous with the tabasco!! It gives it a really nice kick and it's not too spicy because the cream cheese and mayo balances it out. I put about 15 splashes in mine and it was perfect!

Very good!!! I made 1/2 the recipe. I baked the mushrooms for 20 minutes, then added the cheese and baked until melted. They were gone in 5 minutes! Thanks! I making these again over the holidays.
