My mother just reminded me that I promised a mushroom gravy recipe clip when I did the meatloaf demo. So, here you go; better late than never. This mushroom sauce can be done with any type of stock, but I used beef stock here since I’m going to be making some more meatloaf (if you haven’t seen that clip, check it out here).This is usually a 2 pan recipe; chefs normally brown the mushroom in a large sauté pan and then add them to a sauce pan to finish the sauce, but why wash another pan when you don’t have too? So, I’m showing you my patented single-pan method. It does take longer, but the final results will be the same. Be patient, wait until all the liquid is gone and the mushrooms are browning in the butter before you make the roux. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
1 pound sliced mushrooms
1 quart beef stock or broth
1/2 stick butter
3 rounded tbl flour
salt and pepper to taste
fresh herb (this is optional, I used Thyme)

That looks great! Now i have to make the meatloaf... thanks!
ummm...gravy is thicker and usually made of roux? Idk.
Give the clip another look. I did make a roux, and like most of my sauce recipes I say you can reduce to thicken. The "thickness" of a gravy is up to the Chef, it is IMHO not what defines the sauce. Enjoy!
Hello, how can I make the mushroom sauce thicker?
add another tbsp or two of flour at that step.
I made this mushroom gravy yesterday to go along with meatloaf (your recipe as well) and i have to say, that this was the best gravy ive ever had! seriously, it was great. This recipe is definitely going into my recipe book. Thanks for sharing your wonderful recipes.
Hi Chef, can the completed gravy be put into little containers, stored in the freezer and then later, after microwave thawing, be used to spoon over your (my) "minute steak" etc ?? Guess I'll do that with basted eggs and sour dough toast !!! You're a fun friend to have around in the kitchen - thanks.
Yes, you can freeze!
I'm making this tonight. I can't wait. It looks great!
would adding red wine make it darker and richer? or simply spoil it?
How much is one pound into grams
454 g = 1lb
So... Chef John... at my age of 60 figuring out what to make for dinner was BORING!
That changed when I 'met' you.
I check out a recipe(&video) then get the goodies at the grocer. In the evening my husband and I watch the video(s), divide duties / share the meal prep (with a glass of wine) and enjoy the time and the food.
We both get a charge out of your approach.
Last night we did the 'Chicken and Mushrooms' and he struggled to show the appropriate restraint but with much encouragement he did...the meal was, of course, delicious!
Tonight is meatloaf...which is in the oven (with glaze! yummy). Looking forward to eating.
THANK YOU for the videos and being you.
Thanks for watching!
Chef John, i am german and live here with my american husband.
It all started a few weeks ago when I looked for a fresh idea on the turkey-xmas-dinner.... And I found you!!
Now I spend most of my days watching your videos, shopping for the right foods and cooking!
My family has never been happier and loves you as much as I do.
You combine the traditional american "stuff", that I have access to through the military, with the fresh, lighter European ways, love, love, love it!!
Hi Chef John,
May I use up my gigantic jar of dehydrated mushrooms for this recipe? I think I have to soak them back to life & then pretend they're the same as fresh mushrooms.... Thanks!
I made your classic meatloaf and it was amazing.
I also made the mushroom gravy! I added a bit of tomato paste after the mushrooms had browned and it was prefect with the meatloaf! I highly recommend the addition!
Mushroom Gravy, oh-me oh-my. Made it according to your instructions once you explained the liquid evaporates and the butter remains, hence the roux. I make my own herbs de provence and used that seasoning and added about an ounce Jim Beam after initial simmering.
Made the best meatloaf ever because of your information on not overworking the meat and to mix it cold. Very helpful advice. Served both with instant mashers and corn. My husband had a cloud nine dinner. Thanks mucho for the recipe.
