This quick, creamy mushroom casserole may well become a favourite dish. Why not serve as a midweek meal with pasta, rice or a hunk of crusty bread. Of course if you are a 'low carber' you will swap the pasta for courgetti, rice for cauliflower rice and bread - just use a lower carb alternative - see here.
Ingredients
Serves Four
50g/1¾oz unsalted butter, plus extra to finish
1 leek, sliced
3 rashers smoked streaky bacon, diced
100ml/3½fl oz dry white wine
5 Portobello mushrooms, chopped
350–400ml/12–14fl oz beef stock
100ml/3½fl oz crème fraîche
¼ tsp paprika
salt and pepper
small handful of freshly chopped flatleaf parsley, to garnish
Method
1. Heat a deep non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add the butter and when it sizzles, add the leek and bacon and fry for 6–8 minutes, until the leek is softened and caramelised and the bacon crispy.
2. Pour in the wine and allow to bubble for a couple of minutes before adding the mushrooms. Cook for 2–3 minutes to soften, then add 350ml/12fl oz beef stock and season well with salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 25–30 minutes, adding a touch more stock if needed.
3. Stir in the crème fraîche, paprika and a knob of butter and simmer for a further 5 minutes.
4. Check the seasoning and serve garnished with chopped parsley.

...bacon makes everything taste better.
Thanks for sharing a veggie dish too;) I bet you're an amazing cook.
Oh my, this looks yummy! All the ingredients are winners to my family. Thank you.
I think this is too many mushrooms for me, but one could substitute something else as a replacement. The rest of the ingredients sound yummy.
Such a delicious looking casserole for the fall. We are mushroom lovers !
Looks delicious!
Gracias por la receta. La hare pronto. Te mando un beso.
Mushrooms and leeks (or onions) go together really well don't they?
Now this is something I would like. However, Mr. M. would not. LOL
Bacon is GREAT and the casserole must have tasted really good.
Sounds delicious! I love mushrooms and leeks.
That sounds lovely.
Looks like a delicious veggie casserole.
Thanks for sharing.
Take care, have a great day!
It's looking delicious with the mushrooms.
Sounds great
That sounds delicious, though as a veggie I'd leave out the bacon!
This sounds very yummy!
I love the sight of this!
I always say that butter makes everything taste and look delicious. However, I refrain from using it, as at a certain age, it is not helping with maintaining weight and health.
Me encanta los champiñones y es una buena receta, la que nos has facilitado. La tendré en cuenta la próxima vez que los ponga
Thank you for providing a vegetarian option, you are so sweet!
I still need to try leeks, they never have them in the stores I shop at.
Yes, Jan. I would prefer the vegetarian version. It sounds wonderful.
Hello :=)
I like the mushroom bacon and leek combo. I wonder if I can substitute the butter for olive oil!

"I wonder if I can substitute the butter for olive oil!"
You could try substituting olive oil instead of butter ... but the butter always adds a creamy richness to the recipe and olive oil may give it a fruity note.
Baking/cooking is so often experimental so you may wish to tweak/change this recipe.
There is a guide called 'The ultimate guide to substituting butter with olive oil in your recipes' you may like to read - find it here

Hope this may help.

My hubby does like his mushrooms, he would probably really like this :)
Have a wonderful weekend!
Seguro que está muy bueno. Besos.
