1 lb button mushrooms, Portobello if possible, washed and cut into halves
1 bag frozen pearl onions
4-5 peeled garlic cloves, chopped
2 tbsp. soy or tamari sauce
2 tbsp cider vinegar
2 tbsp brown sugar
salt and pepper to taste
1 cup bacon, chopped and cooked until crisp, dained
3 tbsp of bacon grease, from the cooked bacon, trying to save as much of the browned stuff in the bottom of the pan
Preheat the oven to 400 degree, using the roast setting on your oven if you have that, if not just usual bake setting. Toss all of the ingredients except the crisp bacon crumbles, place in a large baking dish and roast about 20-30 minutes, stirring once or twice, until the mushrooms are browned and any liquid has reduced to a thick glaze. Place in a serving dish and stir in the bacon crumbles. These are addictive!
If you don't care for onions, omit and add another 8 oz package of mushrooms.
