CREAMY KETO GARLIC MUSHROOMS WITH BACON

You’ve got to try these Keto Brussels Sprouts topped with a Creamy Garlic Sauce if you’re getting bored with your usual low-carb vegetable recipes.

With the most amazing garlic cream sauce, these skillet sauteed mushrooms are tender and delicious. For your favorite meal, they make the perfect low-carb appetizer or side dish. They pair perfectly with oven-roasted chicken, pork chops, or steak.

In this easy recipe, to make a dish that’s truly amazing, fresh mushroom sprouts simmer with garlic, bacon, and a blend of Parmesan and Mozzarella cheese — all in about THIRTY minutes on the stovetop.

To make this recipe, you’ll need:

Fresh mushrooms. Cremini mushrooms are actually just the baby version of portobello mushrooms, I like to use cremini mushrooms! Don’t worry if you can’t find cremini mushrooms. Go with the classic button mushrooms, look for mushrooms labeled “baby Bella’s”, – they’ll be equally delicious in this recipe.
Crisp bacon. For the fewest carbs, look for sugar-free bacon.
Heavy Cream. Sometimes called whipping cream.
A blend of cheeses. In this recipe, I like a mixture of Parmesan and Mozzarella. But instead, you can use your favorite melting cheese. Some good choices include Provolone, Gruyere, or Cheddar.
Garlic. in the recipes, I definitely prefer to use fresh garlic cloves. Depending on size, 2-3 cloves are good. I think it’s better than garlic powder in this particular recipe, — and it only takes a little bit more work.
