mushrooms, sauteed with onions, etc., to make up difference.]
Mix seasoning mix ingredients and set aside.
In large skillet [the clean-up crew apprecieates using the Dutch oven for
this] melt butter and margarine. [I was a bit short with the butter and
used 1-2T corn oil instead of marg.] Stir in onion, bell pepper, celery,
garlic, and bay leaves. Cook over high heat for two minutes, stirring.
