This was really quick, even with all of the chopping it only took about a half hour.
It was also really good, even my kids liked it, which is rare with mushrooms. We give it a 4 1/2 stars. We docked it a little because it is very bland looking with everything just a light brown color. I was wondering whether adding red bell peppers and carrots would change the taste too much, because it would probably look better to have them and top it with sliced green onions.
By the way, I wouldn't serve the lettuce under the hot meat, it wilts it.
