Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Mushroom Gravy.

1. Step 1

   Start by heating a large skillet over medium heat and giving it a light spray of nonstick cooking spray.

2. Step 2

   Toss in the sliced mushrooms and cover the skillet.

   Let them cook, stirring occasionally, until they start to release their delicious juices.

   Once you see that lovely moisture, add in the pressed garlic and give it a good stir.

5. Step 5

   Cover the skillet again and keep cooking, stirring now and then, until the mushrooms have released even more juice and the garlic is just lightly browned, filling your kitchen with a wonderful aroma.

   Take a moment to wipe the skillet with a paper towel to remove any burnt bits of garlic, ensuring a clean slate for the next step.

8. Step 8

   Now, melt some butter in the skillet over medium-low heat until it starts to bubble and foam, creating a rich base for your sauce.

9. Step 9

   Sprinkle in the flour and whisk it continuously to form a roux, which will give your sauce that perfect creamy texture.
