Instructions

• In a large skillet cook the bacon, then set aside on paper towels to drain. Reserve 2 Tbsp of pan drippings, discard or freeze the remainder.

• To the pan add the butter, onion, mushrooms, Worcestershire sauce and 1/2 of the fresh thyme to the pan. Scrape any brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
• Add the remaining 1 tsp Mrs. Dash, 1/2 tsp seasoned salt, and black pepper to your taste. Cook for 10 minutes then add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
• Sprinkle the cooked mushrooms and onions with 1/4 cup all-purpose flour. Mix the flour into the mushrooms and onions, cooking over medium-low heat until dissolved.
