Note
For best results, use fresh button or cremini mushrooms.
If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of milk to thin it to your desired consistency.
This dish pairs well with roasted chicken, pork chops, or mashed potatoes.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove, adding a little milk if needed.
For a dairy-free version, substitute butter with olive oil and sour cream with a vegan alternative.
