As my husband said, can't go wrong with broccoli, bacon and mushrooms all in one dish. It was very good!

As a guy, it's hard to go wrong with bacon and mushrooms. Great side that I plan to use year round.

I made this for our Christmas Eve dinner and it was fabulous! My guests thoroughly enjoyed it and there was nothing left but an empty bowl.
