This easy recipe of mussels with bacon beer, I brought it many years ago in Brussels, where the mussels are a dish that must try if you visit the city. There are lots of ways to prepare them, as the Mussels with white wine cream sauce, but these are the fastest and most easy to prepare.

I am not an expert in beer. Perhaps that is the reason why these were the last Mussel we took this time in Belgium. We had gone to the wedding of a friend, who as the Gypsy wedding lasted for more than three days. They were unforgettable, gang days, where there was time to try mussels from a lot of different ways, but mostly there was time for lots of laughs. Each day a different plan, but always lunch and dinner together and of course beer.

Since then it has rained a lot and these mussels with bacon beer is almost always present in our dinners at home. The small pleasures of each day are what make you enjoy truth of life, those who do not need a special occasion, but that arise without more. And this way of preparing them is an accessible fad, because it only takes 10 minutes and a few ingredients that always there in my fridge, which allows me to be able to prepare them without having to spend much time.

What if it is important, as almost always in the kitchen, is to pay attention to the quality: a Galician mussels from first, in my case, and a beer that worthwhile, in this case #CruzcampoGranReserva, and this beer is the ideal choice to develop these Mussels with bacon with the highest quality beer and looking for the best result. What you want to try them! As we go for the recipe.
