Mushroom and Onion Saute Recipe

This Mushroom and Onion Saute recipe goes in my essentials category if ever anything did.

I canโt 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 Iโve prepared for our meal.
Really, it couldnโt be any easier.
Or better.
Thatโs 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 youโd not included it in the first place.
For example, I canโt remember the last time weโve made hamburgers and not had mushroom and onion saute to go along with it.
I think thatโs what they mean when they say a recipe is a staple in your family.
If Iโm feeling really fancy, Iโll 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.
Hereโs my Mushroom and Onion Saute recipe. Youโll love it.

Sounds delicious! Would this be something i could add to spaghetti?
Instead of yellow onions I used red onions, it has a more sweeter/more savory taste. Plus thinly slicing your mushrooms into straws instead of chips helps them soak up more flavor. Good recipe overall, though!
Iโm glad you enjoyed it! xo
I love this recipe. Iโm about to make it right now but I have too many mushrooms to eat in one day. Can I freeze them after I cook them?
Sure โ Just be sure to let it cool completely before freezing. Enjoy! Thanks Linda!
I tried it today for my housewarming party, and it was amazing! Definitely the best thing that I served and it was super easy to to. A++
