BACON AND MUSHROOM STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Cook bacon until fat is rendered out, remove with slotted spoon, reserve. Pour off all but 2 Tbsp of bacon fat, keeping the excess in reserve if you wish to use it in the stir frying of the vegetables. Vegetable oil is really better.
• Combine all sauce ingredients in a small bowl, stir until cornstarch is dissolved.
• Pour over vegetables and bacon; cook and stir only until sauce thickens.
• Serve over hot brown rice, or Chinese noodles, topped with additional soy sauce and toasted sesame seeds.

BACON STUFFED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer bacon slices to paper towels, reserving bacon drippings in the skillet. Crumble bacon when cooled.
• Remove stems from mushrooms and set stems aside. Place mushrooms, hollow sides up, on a baking sheet; brush the insides with melted butter.
• Chop mushroom stems; cook and stir chopped stems, black olives, green onion, and crumbled bacon in the bacon drippings over medium heat until mushroom stems release their liquid, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper; stir to coat.
• Tilt the skillet slightly; move vegetable-bacon mixture to one side, allowing the bacon drippings to pool to the other side. Whisk flour into bacon drippings until smooth and paste-like; slowly stir in milk until gravy is smooth. Mix vegetable-bacon mixture into the gravy. Add American cheese and Parmesan cheese; cook and stir until cheeses melt, about 5 minutes. Spoon filling into mushroom caps.
• Bake in the preheated oven until mushrooms are tender and filling is lightly browned, about 20 minutes. Remove mushrooms from baking sheet and cool on platter for 2 minutes before serving.
