Magnificent Mushroom Spread - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 Tbsp. butter
1 lb. fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 large onion, chopped
1 1/2 c. mayonnaise
10 strips bacon, fried crisp and crumbled
1/4 tsp. salt (optional)
1/2 c. Cheddar cheese, grated

Preparation

In large skillet, saute mushrooms in butter 3 to 5 minutes. Combine onion, mayonnaise, bacon, salt and mushrooms.
Spread into a flat oven-proof dish.
(I use an oval dish 8 1/2 x 11 x 2-inch.) Cover with Cheddar cheese.
Bake at 350\u00b0 for 20 to 25 minutes. (Be careful, it will be hot!)
Spread on cocktail rye rounds or crackers.
This may be assembled up to 2 days ahead.
