BEST MUSHROOM GRAVY
Steps:
- Melt the butter (or bacon grease, lard or beef drippings - any of these will yield the most flavor) in a pan over medium-high heat and fry the onions until beginning to brown. Add the garlic and cook another minute.
- Add the mushrooms and cook 7-8 minutes or until golden and the liquid from the mushrooms has evaporated. Add the ground porcini mushrooms and cook for another minute.
- Add the butter and melt. Add the flour, stir to combine and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring continually. This will cook off the flour flavor and brown the flour to create more depth of flavor in the gravy.
- Add the beef broth, vinegar, thyme, sugar, salt and pepper. Whisk continually until the gravy is thickened. Cover and simmer on low, stirring occasionally, for 5-10 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. If you prefer the gravy thinner add a little more water (or heavy cream if using).Note: To make this gluten free simply omit the step of adding the flour and then, at the very end after you've added the broth and seasonings, stir in a cornstarch slurry made with one tablespoon of cornstarch dissolved in 2 tablespoons of water and simmer for a minute until thickened.

Mushroom sauce can be done with any type of stock, but I used beef stock here since I'm going to be serving with meatloaf.

CREAMY MUSHROOM SAUCE/GRAVY
One of my favorite mushroom sauce recipes! This is good even without the Parmesan, if you like a cheesy sauce then, also 3 minced garlic cloves may be added with the mushrooms --- I most always use this sauce with my recipe #149540 though it's great with anything :)

Steps:
- Saute the mushrooms in a couple tablespoon butter until they loose their moisture and are just beginning to brown (about 10-12 minutes) set aside.
- In a medium saucepan cook the butter and flour over medium-high heat, whisking constantly until the mixture turns a light golden color (about 6-7 minutes).
- Whisk in the stock and wine, stirring until the mixture thickens.
- Lower heat and simmer for about 12-15 minutes.
- Add in the cream, and Parmesan cheese (if using) whisk until combined, then add in sauteed mushrooms; simmer for additional 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce coats the back of the spoon.
- Season with salt and pepper.
Tips:
- To make the creamiest sauce, use a combination of heavy cream and milk. You can also use all heavy cream, but it will be richer and more decadent.
- For a more flavorful sauce, use a variety of mushrooms. Some good options include cremini, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms.
- If you don't have white wine, you can use chicken broth or vegetable broth instead.
- Be sure to cook the mushrooms until they are soft and browned. This will help them to release their flavor into the sauce.
- Season the sauce to taste with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices. Some good options include garlic, thyme, and rosemary.
- Serve the sauce over your favorite pasta, chicken, or fish. You can also use it as a dipping sauce for vegetables or bread.
