Are you a mushroom lover? This recipe of Mushrooms in a Sour Cream Sauce is so easy and makes a flavorful little side dish. I guess it’s fairly common in Russian and Ukrainian cooking. We first tried it at my Mama-in-laws home in Cali and it’s been on our to-do list for about a year (yes, it’s a really long list).

You can use either button, cremini or baby bella mushrooms, or combine different kinds of mushrooms for a little extra flair. I like bellas because they are richer in flavor and meatier. This dish pairs really well with mashed potatoes.

Ingredients for Mushrooms in a Sour Cream:

1 lb mushrooms washed & dried (baby bella’s, cremini or button mushrooms)
1 medium or 2 small onions
3 Tbsp olive oil
3 Tbsp sour cream
Salt and Pepper to taste
Chopped green onion, optional for garnish

How to Make Mushrooms in a Sour Cream in 4 easy steps:

3. In a separate, large pan, sauté sliced mushrooms in 1-2 Tbsp olive oil until soft.If mushrooms release a lot of juice, drain excess juice; leaving some juices behind. Baby Bella mushrooms don’t seem to get as juicy as buttons or cremini so we didn’t have to drain.

4. Combine mushrooms and onions. Add in 3 Tbsp sour cream and salt and pepper to taste.

    This was really good and easy. I made this with your instant pot whole chicken and gravy. Served up with mashed potatoes. It was a fabulous dinner. The mushrooms along side the potatoes was so yummy.

    Delicious especially if you add a tsp of worchestershire sauce to it. Yummy.
