Sautéed Mushrooms, Pepperoni and Bell Peppers
Change up the side dish on your menu tonight with this mushroom, pepperoni and bell pepper combination that also makes a delicious appetizer.
Since I’m a fan of mushrooms, when I see them on a menu in a restaurant, I can’t resist ordering something mushroom-related.
Like a burger topped with mushrooms, or sautéed mushrooms as a side dish with steak, and of course as a pizza topping.
When I think of mushrooms, I associate them with delicious food like pizza, stir-fried vegetables, Italian food, pasta, and spaghetti sauce just to name a few.
I’m pretty sure that when I made this mushroom side dish with pepperoni, bell pepper and onion, I was channeling a craving for a combination pizza.
