Similar but equal in how well they work as sauces with chicken, steak, or roast beef dinners.  (My personal addition to many mushroom recipes is a splash of Worcestershire)

Mushrooms Monterey--can be made ahead

1 pound mushrooms, sliced

1 tablespoon butter

1/2 cup sour cream

1 tablespoon flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

Fresh ground pepper to taste

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup chopped parsley

Blend sour cream, flour, salt, pepper.

Saute mushrooms in butter about 2 minutes.  Stir in sour cream mixture and heat until bubbly. 

Turn into shallow baking dish, sprinkle with Parmesan and parsley and bake in preheated 425 degree oven about 10 minutes.

Mushrooms in Sour Cream--12 servings

About 30 minutes before serving or early in day, in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat, melt 1/2 cup butter.

Add 2 pounds mushrooms, sliced; 1/2 cup minced green onions; 1 teaspoon salt; 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring frequently, until mushrooms are tender, about 10 minutes.

Stir in 1/2 cup sour cream.

Heat through, but do not boil.

Spoon mushroom mixture into medium bowl.

Serve warm or refrigerate to serve cold later.  (i'd say room temperature is better than cold.)

I've seen some mushroom recipes calling for sherry.  I'd try them if I wanted to spend the money on a bottle of booze I'll never finish, but for those who have sherry on hand, might be worth trying to find some recipes that use it.  Brandy probably tastes pretty good with mushrooms....thanks for suggesting it.

Thanks for all these great mushroom recipes novamc, I can't wait to try them!

If you don't mind swapping out one liquor for another, I buy those airplane size bottles of brand/whiskey/burboun/etc. from the liquor store to have on hand when I want to try something new.  That way you are not out a lot of money if you decide that flavor isn't for you.

mtc has a good idea - you can always buy pint bottles, too.

I don't have a problem with leftover brandy as long as DH is around.   In fact, the problem is getting to it before it's all gone!  (I don't have a taste for brandy/sherry myself, except in cooking.)

Try Marsala wine to flavor sautéed mushrooms !!!  DH used this when he made chicken Marsala.

I think Sherry and mushrooms is a match made in heaven..I keep a bottle in the kitchen at all times, it's cheaper than Worcestershire sauce and doesn't go bed!

Glad you like them, mtc!  Wish I had some today myself.
