Mushroom and Onion Saute Recipe

This Mushroom and Onion Saute recipe goes in my essentials category if ever anything did.
I can’t even begin to tell you how often I pull out a skillet, toss in sliced onions and mushrooms, a little bit of olive oil, salt and pepper to go along with whatever else I’ve prepared for our meal.
Really, it couldn’t be any easier.
Or better.
That’s the best thing about simple as can be recipes. You just turn to them to help finish out a meal and take it to a whole new level than if you’d not included it in the first place.
For example, I can’t remember the last time we’ve made hamburgers and not had mushroom and onion saute to go along with it.
I think that’s what they mean when they say a recipe is a staple in your family.
If I’m feeling really fancy, I’ll even toss in some fresh herbs to go along with it and amp up the flavors even more. Thyme, rosemary, or just a bit of parsley all taste delicious.
So, if you need a good essential recipe to keep on hand to take simple weeknight meals up a level or two, to top your hamburgers, or to add to your lettuce wraps, this is it.
Here’s my Mushroom and Onion Saute recipe. You’ll love it.

I like to do this too.
Mushrooms and onions! Yum. What could be better?!
If you added a little heavy cream at the end you could serve it on buttered toast. My idea of a heavenly lunch.
What a yummy side dish or topping for grilled steaks/burgers! I love a big heap of cooked mushrooms with minimal seasonings! Looks delish.
It was delicious! I will always add this to my side dishes ,topper for burgers and steak,also add it to your morning omelet..delish!
I do this often and really love it. Thanks Robyn.
I LOVE this! I’m always looking for a quick, healthy veggie side dish to go with any protein I make. It’s also Paleo and since I started the 30 day challenge today, this just may make it to my table this weekend. Thank you.

Mushrooms are my favorite. I love to saute mushrooms and onions. This makes me hungry!!!
Why don’t I ever think to do this? I love it! Love, love mushrooms!
This is one my favorite things on the planet. I remember one time when I was a teenager I asked my mom if I could have sauteed mushrooms and onions for lunch. Should’ve known I was a foodie then.
I think I use my skillet at least once a day. It is for sure my most used kitchen tool and I love using it to saute veggies. These mushrooms look so good! We actually just had roasted mushrooms for dinner tonight, but I much prefer sauted I think. Plus, onions are always a great addition!
