Shrooms, the good kind!


I was a cook in the Army for three years a long time ago.  We didn't cook like this but it gave me confidence when cooking.  To many people measure everything out just right.  Take this recipe as a guideline and add or subtract the ingredients based on what you like.  You could sub basil for the rosemary, ditch the olives and add (a little) jalapeño.  Add extra bacon, no cheese, onion, whatever.  I have never made anything the same way twice.  Experiment and have fun (music, good beer, and others in the kitchen helps).

Ingredients
18 button mushrooms, large
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 tbsp minced garlic
1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary
1/3 cup kalamata olives
6 cooked bacon slices, chopped
1 cup shredded swiss (skip it if you want, not a big deal)

After washing the shrooms, remove stems and chop 2/3 of them and add them to a bowl with all of the other ingredients.
Slice a little bit of the bottom off of the shroom so it won't roll around and dump the goodies out after you put them in.
Mix it up, the olive oil helps things clump and stay together.
Shove it in the shroom without breaking them.
Put on a greased grill or a cookie cooling rack over a cookie pan in the oven at 375 degrees for 5-10 min.  
Eat.
