Sautéed mushrooms cook in rich bacon drippings for a hearty dish that’s ready in 20 minutes! 

Meaty sautéed mushrooms add hearty texture to any dish, and this recipe combines two delicious varieties sautéed in bacon fat for maximum flavor!

Combining mushrooms in a single dish also amps up the nutritional value considerably. Shiitake mushrooms are rich in vitamin D, and baby portobellos (also known as cremini mushrooms) are full of powerful B-vitamins that support cognitive functioning. You can also use white button mushrooms or experiment with more exotic varieties your local market has to offer.

Start by cutting thick-cut bacon into 1-inch pieces using a sharp knife or kitchen scissors. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the bacon bits. After a few minutes, the bacon will release its aromatic fat, creating just the perfect amount of drippings to cook the mushrooms in. Add both varieties of sliced mushrooms, garlic and thyme, then stir well to coat. Rosemary, basil and oregano would also be wonderful in this dish.

Let the mushrooms cook down for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally. No need to add salt before serving – the bacon keeps this side dish plenty flavorful!
