This Mushroom Sauce is so simple to make, it’s fail-proof! You only need 6 ingredients and 20 minutes to make this creamy, delicious sauce. Use it to dress up meat or stir it in with pasta! I serve it with fried chicken cutlets, pork chops or steak. You can also add cooked chicken and pasta and turn it into a full meal!
Add chopped onion, stir in. Saute over medium heat until translucent.
½ medium yellow onion
Add sliced mushrooms and garlic. Stir it in. Season with salt and pepper.
2 garlic cloves, 10 oz white mushrooms, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Cook until fragrant and mushrooms release water. Stir often.
In a glass measuring cup or a medium bowl, whisk cornstarch with half and half.
1 ¼ cup half and half, 3 teaspoons cornstarch
Pour mixture over mushrooms and stir in well.
Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce thickens.
Remove the pan from heat and let the sauce sit to cool slightly. The sauce will thicken even more.
Season with more salt and pepper and serve.
Notes
Taste the sauce once it's done. Add more black pepper, if desired. I always do since mushrooms love black pepper!
Just before you add the half and half and cornstarch mixture to mushrooms, give it another whisk. Cornstarch tends to settle at the bottom of the bowl if the liquid sits for a moment.
If you refrigerate it, you will need to add a splash of water or half and half to the sauce while reheating to bring back the saucy texture.
