Ingredients
  

  • 4 slices bacon chopped
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 pound small button mushrooms rinsed and patted dry with paper towels
  • ½ teaspoon of chili powder or adjust according to your preference
  • ½ teaspoon of sweet paprika or more if desired
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup low sodium chicken broth
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Cook the Bacon: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until it is crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Utilize a slotted spoon to lift the bacon out of the skillet and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess fat. Keep the bacon grease in the skillet for later use.
  • Sauté the Mushrooms: To the same skillet, add the butter and olive oil. After the butter has melted, stir in the minced garlic and cook for roughly 1 minute, or until it becomes aromatic. Add the button mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are golden brown and tender.
  • Add the Chicken Broth: Pour the chicken broth into the skillet, stirring to deglaze the pan and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom. Simmer for about 2-3 minutes until the broth has reduced slightly.
  • Make the Creamy Sauce: Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Let the sauce simmer gently for about 3-4 minutes until it thickens to your desired consistency.
  • Add the Bacon: Return the crispy bacon to the skillet and stir to combine with the creamy mushroom mixture.
  • Serve: Remove from heat and transfer the creamy garlic mushrooms with bacon to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately. This dish pairs perfectly with steak, chicken, or even as a topping for mashed potatoes or pasta.
