2 tablespoons butter

1/2 cup diced onions

2 cups sliced mushrooms, about 1/4 pound

1 (10¾-ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup

1 cup mayonnaise

2 eggs, beaten

1 1/2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese, divided

1 (6-ounce) can French-fried onions

1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees.

2. In a large saute pan

heated over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Stir in the onions and mushrooms and cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are translucent, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat.
