This was fabulous!! Instead of the green onions, I sliced up a bunch of leeks and cooked those with the mushrooms. I may up the garlic next time since we love it. My BF raved over this!! Thanks.

Awesome!! The sauce turned out so rich and creamy and the bacon just makes this extra, extra yummy. I made this for my sister's birthday dinner. It was a super huge hit with all the family. Thanks Nurse Di.

I really enjoyed making this. It was very easy and quick. I used bacon pieces to avoid frying. I made it the way the recipe was written and then my husband asked for it a second time, using gargonzola cheese. It turned out just as good the second time. 5 stars is not a high enough rating. EXCELLENT!!
