Mushroom Sauce

By ghudsontx

I sometimes use this as a replacement for one can of condensed cream of mushroom soup in casserole recipes… for a change of pace and a deeper flavor instead of using white button mushrooms use shiitake, cremini, chanterells or even wild mushrooms…

what no garlic you say??.. okay add some in if you want and saute with the onions and mushrooms, using a good quality beef broth is a must for this!

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup butter
• 1/2 pound fresh mushrooms coarsely chopped
• 1/2 onion, chopped (about 1/3 cup)
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt (I use seasoned salt)
• 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper, or to taste
• 1 cup good-quality beef broth

Preparation

Step 1

In a medium saucepan melt butter over medium-high heat.

Add in chopped mushrooms and onions; saute until softened (about 5-6 minutes).

Stir in flour, salt and pepper and stir for 1 minute or until the mushrooms and onions are thoroughly coated with the flour.

Slowly add in the beef broth stirring constantly; cook until the sauce has thickened (about 3-5 minutes).

Use hot or cool, cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
