This is a very old recipe, but still a good one.  It comes from Aunt Dottie who was my husband’s aunt on his father’s side and is Mrs. Marvel’s Great Aunt.  Aunt Dottie and family grew mushrooms, among other things, in Southeastern Pennsylvania.  Dottie lived to be 99 years old and had a great collection of mushroom recipes.  You will find another one of hers later on.

Stuffed Mushrooms (Great Aunt Dottie)

2 teaspoons finely chopped onion

2 tablespoons butter

½ cup dry bread crumbs

2 sausage patties or 4 strips

bacon cooked and crumbled

1 teaspoon poultry seasoning

Bits of cheese

Wash mushrooms and remove stems.  Brush caps with lemon juice.  Set aside.  Chop mushroom stems and saute in butter with onion about 3 to 4 minutes.  Combine sauteed mushrooms with bread crumbs, meat and seasonings.  Mix well.  Stuff mixture into mushroom caps.  Place in buttered baking dish and bake in 350^o oven 8 to 10 minutes.  Serve hot.  (To cook in microwave oven, set at high and cook for 4 to 5 minutes.)
