Very nice! I wasn't sure about cooking with beer, but even the kids enjoyed it.. I don't know if it was the beer i used, there was a bit of a sweet flavor there as well. Oh, and i just noticed i missed the garlic, that would indeed make it perfect so i won't forget it next time. Made for ZWT4 for TTT

Hello Lainey6605, we had this about 2 weeks ago and it was wonderful! I have always used wine with mushrooms so was a little leary about the beer but it was fantastic! Next time I will double the sauce ingredients as the mushrooms were so good that we wanted more. Thanks for posting such a great recipe, Diane :=)
