Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using a mix of cremini and button mushrooms. If you don't have beef bouillon, you can substitute with beef stock. You can also add a splash of white wine for depth. To save time, use pre-sliced mushrooms and onions. For a creamier sauce, stir in some sour cream just before serving.
