Garlic Bacon Mushrooms made with Pompeian Extra Virgin Olive Oil

I love cooking with different types of ingredients and trying out new things, but sometimes I love just using what I know will taste amazing and what I know works for my recipes. For the recipe i'm going to share with you today, I used Pompeian Extra Virgin Olive Oil to do all my sautéing.  I've cooked with this oil quite a bit in the past and I always love how amazing my recipes come out when I use it! It has a great flavor and is perfect for sautéing! It's a super high-quality product that is very affordable -- which is a huge plus!

It's also great for roasting veggies and browning meat for stews... Perfect for that cool-weather cooking! Oh, and I'm also going to be using it to make a big batch if Pesto this week -- yum! 

For the very special recipe I have prepared for you today, I decided to use a few of my favorite things! Mushrooms are one of my favorite things to cook with... So is bacon...And Garlic... and Pompeian Olive Oil, of course... Which is why I came up with the recipe below for Garlic Bacon Mushrooms. Makes sense, right? This recipe is great as an appetizer, a topping for steak, chicken, pork ... Or simply just eaten by the forkful as you stand over the pan. The possibilities are endless, really...
