These are great to make ahead, which means they’re an easy meal to deliver to new parents or a sick friend. They’re vegetarian as written, but I highly suggest add ins to your preference: shredded chicken, crumbled tempeh, black beans. You don’t have to add one of these things, but it does make a bit more of a meal out of them. Add the cooked protein in when you stir the bbq sauce to the mushroom mixture. Add a bit more bbq sauce and a splash of broth or water if things look dry.

To make quick work of dinner, roast your potatoes in advance.
