Step-by-Step Instructions
To start this delicious journey, I preheat my oven to 350°F (175°C). While that’s heating up, I fry the chopped bacon in a pan until it’s perfectly crispy, and oh, the smell that fills my kitchen is absolutely divine! Once the bacon is done, I remove it from the pan, letting the fat render out—this is crucial for the next step. I then toss in the chopped onions and mushrooms into the same pan, sautéing them until they’re soft and golden. This step adds a depth of flavor that I just can’t resist. Now I let them cool for a bit while I combine the rest of the ingredients in a large mixing bowl. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
