Creamy Garlic Mushrooms with Bacon

Ingredients:

  • 6 slices bacon, chopped
  • 1 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced (such as cremini or button mushrooms)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until it becomes crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set it aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. Leave about 1-2 tablespoons of bacon fat in the skillet.
  2. Add the butter to the skillet with the bacon fat and melt it over medium heat.
  3. Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté them until they’re golden brown and tender, stirring occasionally. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  5. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine with the mushrooms and garlic. Let the mixture simmer gently for a few minutes to reduce and thicken slightly.
  6. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it melts into the cream, creating a creamy sauce.
  7. Season the creamy mushroom sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Return the cooked bacon to the skillet, reserving some for garnish if desired. Stir it into the creamy mushroom mixture, allowing the flavors to meld for a minute or two.
  9. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and additional bacon if desired before serving.

Serve these creamy garlic mushrooms with bacon as a side dish or over pasta, rice, or toasted bread for a satisfying meal rich in flavors!
