Mushrooms have become one of my favorite foods. I could probably eat a quarter cup every day. They are also healthy. Mushroom smoothed steak can be made with either mushroom soup, or gluten free gravy on top. Additional sides include a plate of noodles with peas and carrots. A bit messy, and gluteny. This meal is a quick comfort food and could possibly be cooked in an aluminum pan on a grill, if necessary. A caution about mushrooms: Be sure you know where they came from and they are safe to eat. Most yard mushrooms are not safe to eat.
