Prepare the Mushrooms:

In a large skillet or pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.

Sauté Onions and Garlic:

Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pan. Sauté until the onions are translucent and fragrant.

Add Bell Pepper:

Stir in the diced bell pepper and cook for another 3-4 minutes until softened.
