This Easy Mushroom Sauce has been in my family for generations. It’s so simple, yet very flavorful. It tastes great on steak, fish, veggie, and of course, mashed potatoes!
This Mushroom Sauce recipe never gets old, and I never met a person who wouldn’t enjoy it. My favorite way to eat it – is with a big spoon straight out of the pan. Yes, that’s my spoon you see in the photo. 🙂
Jokes aside, this Easy Mushroom Sauce pairs with almost anything. I recently made some baked yams and served them with this mushroom sauce. It was a hit! I also love it over green beans, grilled chicken, rice and buckwheat… The possibilities are endless, so don’t be afraid to use your imagination.
MY LATEST VIDEOSINSTRUCTIONS:
1. Saute the mushrooms in oil on medium heat for about 10 minutes.
2. Add shredded carrot and diced onion.
3. Saute the mushrooms with carrot and onion for another 10 minutes.
4. Meanwhile prepare the sauce. In a separate skillet, slightly brown the flour on medium heat.
5. Add the vegetable broth (one cup at a time) and stir vigorously until no lumps remain.
6. Add the sauce to the mushrooms.
7. Add the sour cream and stir.
8. Cook the sauce for another minute and turn off the heat. Try if the dish needs a little salt and pepper.
9. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or dill and ENJOY!

Are you browning the flour in a dry pan? I have never seen a gravy recipe that doesn’t call for a roux using a fat and the flour. Do you need to use a nonstick pan?
Hi Steve! Yes, just brown the flour in a dry pan. You don’t have to use nonstick, any pan would work. I cannot wait to hear your feedback!
So useful for so many dishes…… Thank you so much. Keeper it is !
Yay! Thank you so much!
Yum!
Very tasty
I found this recipe after searching around for a sauce to put on my jacket potatoes and it’s perfect! I’ve just made it and it’s exactly what I was after.. can’t wait to taste it on my baked potatoes later!
Thanks, Bracha! I am glad you like the sauce. Happy cooking!
Could you put wine in this sauce and use beef stock instead of the chicken or vegetable stock?
Yes, wine should work well, Deborah. Enjoy!
Hi
Does this freeze well?
Hi Jas! I never froze the sauce, so I am not sure. If you do freeze it, please let me know if it did well. Best!
Hi the recipes look so easy to make and delicious, I shall definitely try both of them
Thanks, Matlhodi! Hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I did! 🙂
I love mushroom sauce made from scratch but I kept making the same mistake with the flour to soup ratio. I don’t remember what my chef-friend told me previously. Now that I have your written down recipe, I’ll be able to master making my favorite sauce!
Thanks, Shela! Hope you’ll give it a try!
This looks amazing. Not many recipes that are totally made from scratch! Everyone seems to use a can of soup to make sauces. Thank you. I will make this soon.
Thank you, Patricia! Hope you’ll get to make it soon! 🙂
Any suggestions for what to replace the sour cream with? Would Greek yogurt work?
Hi Beata! Unfortunately yogurt won’t work here. try using a little half&half or heavy cream. Thanks!
