This was very good; even the kids liked it. I cooked the bacon separately to reduce the fat as another reviewer suggested. I used canned mushrooms and dried thyme since I didn't have any fresh, and thickened the sauce a little with cornstarch just before serving. The wine I used was a cabernet sauvignon. Served with mashed potatoes, peas and wheat rolls. It was great to come up with a yummy meal with ingredients that I had on hand, thanks for the recipe!
