Are you still doing recipe searches?
If so I am scouring the net looking for a breakfast bake recipe. I find
things close but not the exact one.
Pillsbury crescent rolls or biscuits (not sure which)
layered on the bottom. Then things I remember:
eggs
broccoli
ham cut up
tomatoes
onions
cheeses
Hello Margaret,
You should bookmark my main page and check it occasionally to keep up with the latest searches: Finder of Lost Recipes
I had limited success with your breakfast bake. Try these:
Ham and Biscuit Egg Bake
Hame and Cheese Omelet Bake

it's NOT the complete burger per se, it's the mushroom sauce I am seeking
from our local Colorado chain called "Good Times."
NOBODY makes it like that, nor better!
Thanks

Hello Amber,
I see that someone named Amber requested this 4 years ago on Food.com and has not had any success. See: Food.com
I did not find any recipe or copycat for this. Keep in mind that Good Times is a fast food chain, and it is therefore likely that the
mushrooms and sauce are not prepared fresh at the individual Good Times locations. When this is so, the local employees of a chain like
"Good Times" have no idea what ingredients are used, particularly the spices. The mushrooms and sauce may be shipped to the local branch
frozen from a central Good Times location in a complete form, or perhaps just the sauce comes in frozen, or the sauce may be a pre-made
product that is just mixed with water and heated with the mushrooms added. As such, it would be highly unlikely to find the actual recipe.
When you see a recipe for something from a fast food chain, it is almost always a “copycat” or “tastes-like” recipe that someone has created
because chain recipes usually call for one or more pre-made ingredients provided by the company, which the home cook cannot obtain.
No one appears to have created a copycat recipe for the mushrooms and sauce from Good Times.
Their on-line menu describes the burger this way: Good Times Burgers
Mushroom Swiss Burger
An all-natural beef patty, a mountain of savory, sauteed mushrooms and a slice of Swiss cheese
They have an online nutritional disclosure of the ingredients in the mushrooms & sauce here:
Good Times Burgers attachment file
As you can see, it’s not much help in trying to duplicate the mushrooms and sauce:
mushrooms, water, margarine (liquid & partially hydrogenated soybean & cottonseed oils, water, salt, mono & diglycerides lecithin, sodium
benzoate, citric acid & calcium disodium edta added as preservatives, colored with beta carotene, vitamin a palmitate added), salt, modified
food starch, hydrolyzed plant protein (corn gluten, wheat gluten, soy protein, autolyzed yeast extract, partially hydrogenated cottonseed &
soybean oils), spice, dehydrated onion, dehydrated garlic, caramel color, xanthan gum. CONTAINS: MILK, SOY, WHEAT
There are recipes for sauteed mushrooms with sauce, but I cannot recommend a recipe because I have never tasted the Good Times Swiss Mushroom burger
and would therefore have no idea which, if any, recipes might taste similar.
I’ll post this. Perhaps a reader who has had the Swiss mushroom burger from Good Times can provide a recipe that they know from experience tastes similar.

ONCE we went there and they had 'sweet kraut,' as opposed to sauerkraut.
Never able to re create and I have their cookbook :)
and have had input from others, to no avail.
Thanks

Hello Amber,
Junior’s was actually “Junior’s Deli” and it began as a Jewish Delicatessen. There is a website here: Jrs Deli.
Juniors closed at the end of 2012 after a dispute with their landlord. The founder of Junior's LA is deceased, and his sons have chosen
not to move the deli to another location. See this article: LA Times
I had no success finding any recipe, copycat, or even much mention of Junior’s sweet kraut.
There are some “sweet kraut” recipes around. I can’t really recommend one because I have never had Junior’s sweet kraut and would not
know which recipes might taste like it. Do you know Bavarian style sauerkraut? It is sweeter than ordinary sauerkraut. You might try
some commercial Bavarian sauerkraut and see if it’s step in the right direction. There are home recipes for making Bavarian sauerkraut
on the web, if you think that’s similar. Here are a couple of “sweet kraut” recipes that I found:
Schmidt's Sweet Sauerkraut
Sweet Sauerkraut
The Amish also make a sweet sauerkraut.
