mushroom gravy

Earthy savory topping

Mushroom gravy is a savory sauce made from mushrooms, typically combined with stock, flour, and seasonings.

It's a staple of comfort food, ladled over mashed potatoes, meatloaf, or Salisbury steak.

Vegetarian versions use vegetable broth, making it a popular substitute for meat-based gravies: The roast came with mushroom gravy on the side.
