Bacon-Wrapped Filets with Scotched Mushrooms image

I got the idea for bacon-wrapped filet mignon when I saw some on sale in the grocery store. The rest was inspired by my husband, because he once made a Scotch and ginger ale sauce. This elegant recipe is for two, but it can easily be doubled. -Mary Kay LaBrie, Clermont, Florida
