Terrific. Loved it. Added 2 slices of crumbled bacon and 1 slice of diced red onion. Beyond that it was all your recipe and it was great. Five stars from both my wife and I.
I loved this! I added dry shallots and bacon bits, then deglazed the pan with a splash of sherry. Thank you for the base.
Thank you! I do, however, suggest scraping out the dark mushroom gills as recommended on many websites; the flavour is cleaner without them and of course, it affords more room for the filling! I also learned to oil the mushrooms which keeps them from drying out. Lovely filing recipe!
I’m another one who can’t leave a recipe alone. I had leftover tri-tip, so I added a small amount of chopped tri-tip and a few slices of cooked chopped bacon (cooked with the mushroom caps). It was out of this world. Loved the cayenne, too!
Absolutely delicious (will make again), like others I couldn’t help but add though!!
2 trimmed short cut slices of Bacon (diced)
2 slices Brown onion (diced)
4. Moving to a skillet, add butter, minced garlic, diced bacon, diced onion and diced mushroom stems.
Tasty Goodness!!
