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:
1. Finely chop your onions. Slice mushrooms into 1/4″ thick slices.
2. In a medium, non-stick pan, saute onions in 1-2 tbsp olive oil for a few minutes or until golden
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.
Enjoy, Enjoy!

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.
So glad you enjoyed the recipe!
My mom always made this for holiday dinners but also added bacon. Loved it.
Yum! I’m glad you loved the recipe.
This sauce is a great alternative to
tomato sauce for cabbage rolls!
Delicious especially if you add a tsp of worchestershire sauce to it. Yummy.
Thanks for the tip, I’ll surely try that next time!
