Creamy Garlic Mushroom Sauce
We love this rich and savory sauce because it makes the ordinary taste extraordinary!
you're making mealtime meaningful.
When we think of our favorite sauces and gravy recipes, one in particular comes to mind as an instant crowd pleaser: creamy garlic mushrooms. This is a dish of decadent proportions and couldn’t be simpler to prepare. We like to serve ours over noodles, steaks or poured over chicken or pork chops. The possibilities are endless, and if we wouldn’t get funny looks at the breakfast table, we might pour this over our cereal too! It’s just that good.
Garlic and herbs add great depth to the creamy sauce, which thickens quickly as it cooks. It is a super easy recipe for a busy weeknight when everyone wants to sit down to something warm and good. Expect the conversation to be minimal, though; this sauce will quiet the crowd as they devour all the deliciousness.
