In a saucepan, combine the first five ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5 to 7 minutes or until onion is tender and sauce is slightly thickened. Remove from heat; set aside.
In a large bowl combine egg, bread crumbs, parsley, Italian seasoning, and pepper. Add bison and mix well. Divide into 12 portions. Place a cube of cheese in each mushroom cap; shape each meat portion around a mushroom.
