I like adding bacon to anything I can think of because…bacon. 

Is there anything better?

Okay, how about bacon and butter and garlic together mixed with earthy mushrooms and tender green beans.

#winning. 😉

There’s nothing better than cooking your two favorite vegetables together and then topping them with crumbled bacon.

Did I mention they’re cooked in the bacon fat? And butter.

Because yum.

And it’s the holidays and we’re not counting calories right now. We can do that in January. 😉

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…I’m a lover of side dishes and like to make a big assortment when hosting holidays or get togethers.

And this is another really simple and quick side dish that I make during the holidays, but I’ve been known to make it as an easy dinner and just eat it on it’s own too. I adore mushrooms, and could eat them all the time.

They’re a great meaty veg and are so good at absorbing any flavor you cook it with and there’s no better flavor than bacon. 😉

Here’s how to make it…
