How to make Creamy Garlic Mushrooms with Bacon
Step 1: Add the chopped bacon to a hot skillet over medium-high heat and cook until crispy. When done, set the cooked bacon aside.
Step 2: To the same skillet, add butter and olive oil. Once the butter has melted, adjust the heat to medium. Add the garlic and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring often. Make sure not to burn the garlic.
Step 3: To the skillet, add the mushrooms and toss to coat with the butter sauce. Then, sprinkle with chilli powder, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Step 4: Cook further over medium-high heat until the mushrooms are tender and nicely browned. This takes an additional 5 to 7 minutes.
Step 5: Pour in the chicken broth and continue to cook for 10 seconds more.
Step 6: Add the heavy cream. Stir and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes or until the sauce begins to thicken.
Step 7: Take the skillet off the heat and stir in the bacon. Serve right away garnished with some parsley. Enjoy!
