How To Make Creamy Garlic Mushrooms With Bacon

Start with chopping the onion, garlic, and bacon and slicing the mushrooms. Heat a skillet medium to high and pan-fry the bacon until crispy.
Take the bacon out of the pan and set it aside.
Now add the olive oil and melt the butter in the skillet. Add the onion and garlic to the pan. Stir through the pan until soft and translucent.
Then add the mushrooms to the butter mix.
Pan-fry the mushrooms until they are golden brown. Now it is time to add the wine or chicken broth if you do not like wine. Keep on stirring.
Then pour the cream in the pan and add the finely chopped parsley. Stir and add the baked bacon and the grated parmesan cheese into the skillet.
Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Reduce heat. Let the mushrooms simmer in the cast iron skillet until the parmesan cheese is melted and bubbly, this will take about 3 minutes.
Your creamy garlic mushrooms with bacon are ready to serve.

Creamy Mushroom Sauce Recipe

Mushrooms are one of my favorite ingredients just like onion and garlic. You can add mushrooms to just about any recipe.

It is filling and hearty. All you need to do is use mushrooms that are as fresh as possible. Choose those big white mushrooms and slice them finely and bake them with butter and olive oil.

This recipe contains white wine. If you do not like white wine you can leave it out of this recipe or use some vegetable or chicken broth instead.

The parmesan cheese will thicken the sauce and add more flavor. Just like the garlic mushrooms, I showed a little while back this is a great version of the perfect mushrooms side dish.

Only rinse the mushrooms if they contain dirt else brush them clean.

How To Store Creamy Mushroom Sauce

If you have leftover sauce or you made a big batch you can store it for later. Let the sauce cool completely before storing:

Refrigerator – the best and preferred way to store this sauce is in the fridge. You can store it in an airtight food container for at least 2 days.
Freezer – it is possible to store a cream sauce with a heavy cream base in the freezer. However, the sauce is very likely to separate which means you have to fix it by adding oil and cream to let it come together again. If you do not mind this then you can store it in the freezer but it is not recommended.
