Note

Do not let the sauce boil after adding the final portion of sour cream, as high heat can cause it to curdle or separate.

For best results, use fresh button or cremini mushrooms. Clean them with a damp cloth rather than washing under water to prevent sogginess.

This dish pairs exceptionally well with roast pork, chicken, or boiled potatoes.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop over low heat, stirring frequently.
