This is a rich and very savory Mushroom Gravy Recipe. The secret to any comfort meal is a flavorful gravy. And when you can make a delicious gravy from scratch, it becomes even more satisfying! It’s rich, decadent, and pairs perfectly with holiday dishes or everyday meals.
One of my favorite things about this Mushroom Gravy Recipe is just how easy it is to prepare. It comes together in less than 30 minutes. Once you realize how simple it is to put together, you just might serve it with everything.
How to make:
1. Add the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Next, add the mushrooms and onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until dry and tender, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Next, sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms with onions and cook, stirring until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Add the broth, half and half, and thyme and continue to cook until it comes to a boil and thickens, about 5 minutes. Finally, adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed.
Mushrooms are great for you and they are full of vitamins. I love them and I cook with mushrooms a lot. Portobello Mushrooms are one of the most commonly consumed mushrooms in the world and are a source of B vitamins, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, and copper.

There are a few prep steps to get the mushrooms ready:
1. Should I wash mushrooms to clean? Do no rinse mushrooms with water! Mushrooms are like sponges and will absorb liquid quickly. Instead, just use a damp paper towel to remove excess dirt.
2. Turn the mushroom over and remove the stem.
3. Finally, take a spoon and gently scoop out the gills. It’s best for taste and texture to remove and discard them.
