Cooking Steps
- Add 10 cups hot water and 2 tsp salt to a large pot (use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
- While water boils, quarter mushrooms.

- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- While pan heats, on a clean cutting board, cut bacon into 1/2 -inch pieces. (TIP: Use kitchen shears to cut bacon with ease!)
- When hot, add bacon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until crispy, 5-7 min.*

- Broil in the middle of the oven, stirring halfway, until tender-crisp and lightly charred, 8-10 min.
