2 tablespoons finely-chopped red bell pepper
1/2 pound crab claw meat

While vegetables cool, wash mushrooms and remove stems. Set caps to the side and finely chop half of the stems. Discard the other half of the stems or use elsewhere. Combine the sautéed vegetables, chopped mushroom stems, and all other ingredients (except cheese slices) and mix well.

Bake in oven for 12 to 15 minutes until cheese is lightly browned.
