Once the butter has melted, add the sliced bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, ¼ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon of pepper. Sauté until the vegetables are lightly browned, about 3-4 minutes. Transfer the vegetables into a bowl and set them aside.

If I could, I would give this recipe 10 stars! Everyone in my family loved it and asked for seconds. It was a home run with simple ingredients and quick & easy steps. I subbed celery salt and paprika for old bay's seasoning and we topped ours with hot sauce and they were delicious! Our picky eaters didn't even notice the mushrooms. I'll definitely be adding this to our dinner rotation.
