Creamy Mushroom Sauce with Bacon and Thyme

Mushrooms, bacon, thyme and cream create an excellent flavor combination: very savory, perfectly seasoned. This creamy mushroom thyme sauce with bacon makes a great accompaniment to grilled meats, chicken, pork, steaks, etc. I love easy recipes and this one is no exception. How to make creamy mushroom sauce with thyme
Start by cooking mushrooms in 1 tablespoon olive oil on medium heat in a large skillet for about 3 minutes, flipping once. Do not salt mushrooms – this will ensure the mushrooms get caramelized:

In the mean time, cook bacon, about 5 slices, (I cook it in the oven), drain the bacon from fat, chop the bacon into smaller bites, and add chopped, cooked bacon to the skillet:

Add heavy cream, salt, snipped fresh thyme, bring everything to boil, then reduce to simmer and simmer for about 2 minutes for the flavors to blend. Remove from heat and add more salt if needed.  That’s it!  Your sauce is ready to be served!
