Marinated Mushrooms Red Lion Inn Style

The Red Lion Inn is in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, USA and this recipe is adapted from the Red Lion Cookbook. I have posted this because I made them for hubby and want the recipe where I can find it. The addition of Tabasco sauce sets this apart from most other marinated mushroom recipes. ZWT REGION: USA.
