Ingredients

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using a mix of mushrooms like cremini and shiitake. If you're out of dill, fresh parsley or thyme can be good substitutes. To thicken the sauce more quickly, add the flour directly to the pan after the onions are wilted, stirring constantly before adding the sour cream. This dish pairs beautifully with Vegetarian recipes like a fresh green salad.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this dish over cooked egg noodles or rice for a hearty meal. It also pairs wonderfully with crusty bread to soak up the creamy sauce. For a complete dinner, consider a side of steamed vegetables or a light salad. This recipe is perfect for a cozy family meal or a quick weeknight dinner.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, gently warm on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of water or broth to loosen the sauce. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the mushrooms rubbery and the sauce separate.
