* Exported from MasterCook * Bev's Onions & Mushrooms Recipe By : Serving Size : 0 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Volume 2, Nov. '98 Onions Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- butter or margarine plus a few drops of oil onions diced mushrooms sliced salt -- pepper garlic powder - optional I love this combination especially when it's made with a variety of different mushrooms. again, there are no amounts given. You also I've made them with vidalias when they are in season, and it's definitely a sweeter flavor. Melt butter in a frying pan until it gets hot. Add a few drops of oil so the butter doesn't burn. when it gets hot, add the onions and saute until deep golden, but not brown. add the mushrooms and the seasonings. I like to use Lawry's seasoned salt with this. when i have zucchini, or fresh tomatoes, i also add it, if I'm in the mood. but i love just the onions/mushroom mixture. it's great over pasta, it's also wonderful as a side dish and on meat loaf or hamburgers.
