Gradually add the mixture to the skillet, stirring constantly until the sauce is blended, thickened, and velvety smooth, about 2 minutes. Be careful not to boil. (Cook time: 2 minutes)

For a vegetarian option, omit the bacon and use vegetable bouillon.
Consider adding a splash of dry white wine to deglaze the pan after the mushrooms have cooked for an even deeper flavor profile.
Fresh herbs like thyme or parsley can be added at the end for a pop of freshness.

    Easy to follow and delicious! I used cremini mushrooms and added a clove of garlic for extra flavor. Will definitely make again.

  • Marc Grimes

    This sauce was absolutely divine! I served it over pork loin and spaetzle, and it was a huge hit. The bacon adds the perfect touch of smokiness.

  • Marty Herzog

    I made this vegetarian and it was still fantastic! The mushroom flavor really shines through. I used vegetable broth instead of beef bouillon.
