  • 6 slices Bacon chopped
  • 1 medium Onion diced
  • 2 Celery Stalks diced
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 cup Mushrooms sliced
  • ½ cup Bell Pepper diced (optional)

  • 1 tbsp Fresh Rosemary chopped
  • 1 tbsp Fresh Thyme chopped
  • ½ tsp Salt

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
