Do you love mushrooms, or hate them?! I love mushrooms a little too much. I could eat them day after day, starting with several of these Crab Stuffed Mushrooms. And then, making a move on today’s stunning subject; Creamy Garlic Mushrooms with Bacon. ? 

I’m drawn to mushrooms because, I enjoy the meaty texture, and I truly appreciate their ability to absorb all kinds of flavors. 

HOW TO MAKE CREAMY GARLIC MUSHROOMS

• We will start with chopping up some bacon, washing our mushrooms, and mincing garlic.
• Heat up your skillet and add in the bacon; cook until crispy and remove from skillet.
• Add butter to the skillet and a drizzle of olive oil; stir in the garlic and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Do not burn the garlic.
• Add the mushrooms to the skillet, coating them all around with butter. 
• Season with salt, pepper, chili powder, paprika, and garlic powder. Continue to cook until tender and nicely browned. To get the most flavor out of the mushrooms, it’s important to let them brown well. This should take about 5 to 7 minutes.

• Slowly stir in some chicken broth and heavy cream. 
• Cook for a few minutes, or until sauce starts to thicken. 
• Add bacon back into the pan, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, and serve. 

WHAT ARE THE BEST MUSHROOMS TO COOK WITH

• Cremini, Portobello, Shittake, Porcino are all great, and for this recipe I suggest to choose small button mushrooms. Look for Baby Portobello Mushrooms, or just plain White Button Mushrooms.

WHAT GOES WELL WITH MUSHROOMS

If you ask me, it’s this OVEN GRILLED STEAK! I love steak and mushrooms together; see Sirloin Steaks with Mushroom Sauce.

Creamy Garlic Mushrooms can also be served with chicken, pork, pasta, or just eat them straight out of the pan. Nothing more will be needed. Can’t wait for you to agree!

HOW TO STORE COOKED MUSHROOMS

• Refrigerate the mushrooms in an airtight container for 3 to 5 days. 
• Freeze cooked mushrooms for up to 5 months.
