CREAMY GARLIC MUSHROOMS, ONION AND BACON

This side dish is a great company side – very tasty! The parsley is optional.  I have made it with and without and both ways it is good.

4 slices bacon
1 tsp bacon fat (5 mL)
1 lb mushrooms, sliced (0.45 kg)
1/tsp seasoning salt (2 mL)
1/tsp black pepper (2 mL)
1/tsp salt (1 mL)
1 tsp bacon fat (5 mL)
1 cup chopped onion (250 mL)
1 tbsp crushed garlic (15 ml)
4 oz cream cheese (125 g)
1 tbsp cream, OR water (15 mL)
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, (30 mL)
  (optional)

In large frying pan, cook bacon until crispy.  Reserve bacon fat.  Set bacon aside.

In large frying pan, over medium heat, cook mushrooms in bacon fat until beginning to brown.  While cooking, sprinkle with seasoning salt, black pepper and salt.  Set mushrooms aside.  In same pan, cook onion and garlic in bacon fat over medium heat until onion is browning nicely.  Return mushrooms to the pan, add cream cheese in bits, as well as cream, OR water and parsley, if using.  Cook until the sauce is creamy.  Stir in the bacon bits and serve or refrigerate and reheat later in the oven.
