How to make Sauteed Mushrooms and Onions.
Melt the butter over medium high heat in a large skillet. Stir in the Worcestershire Sauce. Add your mushrooms and cook until they start to turn golden brown. Add the onions and cook until the edges brown and the onions become translucent. In the final minute reduce the heat to low and add the minced garlic. Salt and pepper to taste. That is it. It is that simple.
Helpful hints on making Sauteed Mushrooms and Onions!
- After washing or wiping the mushrooms dry them well with a paper towel.
- Do not burn the melting butter. The key is to stay close by and have everything prepped and ready to go.
- Cook mushrooms over medium high heat. They release a lot of moisture so in order for them to brown properly they must be cooked over fairly high heat and stirred frequently so they do not burn.
- Add the onions when the mushrooms are starting to turn golden brown. The onions should be lightly browned on the edges and translucent. It does not take long and they too should be stirred frequently.
- Add the garlic during the last minute of cooking. Reduce the heat to low and stir frequently. Garlic burns easily and tastes bitter when it burns.

I love it! Interesting! Cooking is so much fun!!
I’m new to eating and enjoying the taste of mushrooms. I’ve only bought & cooked (roasted) Baby Bellas. I don’t know one kind of mushroom from another…what one flavor is stronger than another, etc. Maybe you could give me some direction? What kind of mushroom is in your above dish?
Thanks for all your help!

Those are white button mushrooms although you could use baby bellas. They are just different ages of the same mushroom. Here is a very interesting article on mushrooms. What Are Cremini Mushrooms?
