My father discovered Morels when we moved to the mountains when I was a teen. He used to take out hunting with him, a great way for dads to bond with a teen daughter. This the only way he would fix them, swore they were better than steak. Read more So simple, yet so delicious! We have them with mashed potatoes with the onions over them and a green salad. I think this was the only meatless dinner I ever had while growing up. At least when dad was around. This aso works as an appetizer. See less

Oh how I miss hunting and eating morels. They would be our main(and only) course. I've been told they can be found up here, but we don't have the same luck like we did down in the Midwest.
