Buy our air fryer e-cookbooks today Here’s a true confession, we’re gravy addicts. Seriously we can’t get enough of mushroom gravy. Our delicious recipe is super easy and that’s quite dangerous. Why? Because it’s so easy to make and super delicious, it’s hard to not want to eat it everyday.
Easy Mushroom Gravy Recipe
We put this stuff on everything. Literally almost everything except for vanilla ice cream. Mashed potatoes (duh), meats, veggies, dipping with bread, you name it, we’ll put it on our savory foods anytime of day. In fact, one of our kitchen team members ate this gravy for breakfast two days in a row just to finish all the recipe testing leftovers! Now that’s total obsession and dedication.

Fresh Mushrooms for the Sauce And Freezing
The amazing flavors of this recipe for mushroom gravy are so pronounced, earthy and delicious that mushroom lovers will relish in every bite, or drink of it if you’re truly crazy obsessed. Sure, there’s definitely mushroom haters out there because they don’t like the texture. But try sharing some of this flavorful mushroom gravy on top of a bed of creamy mashed potatoes or a great grilled steak and see what they think. If they still don’t like this mushroom gravy then too bad for them because that means there’s more for you. And best of all, you can freeze the sauce to save for later. It still tastes amazing when it’s thawed. Enjoy!

Ingredients
- 6 Tablespoons (84 g) butter (3/4 stick) , divided
- 16 ounces (454 g) mushrooms , sliced
- 2 cloves garlic , minced
- 1/2 cup (45 g) flour
- 3 cups (940 ml) broth (beef, chicken or vegetable)
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
In saucepan, melt 2 Tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and cook until golden and excess mushroom liquid evaporates, about 10 minutes.
Add garlic and remaining butter (4 tablespoons). Cook for about 1 minute or until butter melts. Increase heat to high.
Whisk in the flour, continually stirring to remove lumps. Add about 1/2 cup of beef stock, whisking until incorporated.
Pour in the remaining broth and whisk until well combined.Continue cooking on high heat until gravy comes to a boil.
Reduce heat to medium-low, stirring often, simmer until thickened, about 15-20 minutes depending on your preferred thickness. Season with salt and pepper, to taste (the saltiness and flavors will concentrate some when it reduces down).
Serve on your favorite meatloaf, mashed potatoes or what ever you enjoy.

This was a great flavour. Very good consistency, not a lump in sight. It did take longer for my mushroom liquid to evaporate than the 10 mins cited but I had super fresh ‘rooms from the farmers.I threw in some fresh thyme with the garlic because I had some & that was good too – understand if you are serving this with other flavours you might not want to complicate it.

I’m thinking of making in advance fir thanksgiving. Does it work well to make in advance, refrigerate and reheat?

Best Recipe Box — Reply
Hi Julie, Yes you can definitely make this in advance. We do this all the time. When you re-heat it might be thicker so you can always add a little more broth, stock or juices from the cooked turkey!

Can I use margarine instead of butter? My mom is allergic to butter. The plant based margarine is the only thing she can use.

Best Recipe Box — Reply
Hi Miranda! We think regular margarine should be fine. But we’re not sure about plant based margarine. If it does work for you can you let us know? It would be very helpful to our readers. Thanks so much!
