This sauce is delicious! I loved the taste of the sherry and the mushrooms! I went to get my half and half and it had soured so I substituted evaporated milk and a tbls. of sour cream. It turned out beautifully! Thanks CountryLady! I used this over brown rice.

This was wonderful. I had been craving a good mushroom sauce for a long time, and WOW did this do it. I used regular and portabella mushrooms, and, also, decided to add some shredded munster cheese. I do not have sherry in my house so I improvised with chicken stock. I made noodles to put with the sauce and topped the noodle sauce mixture with some chicken breasts that I breaded and pan fried. This sauce was just like one of the sauces I get from a upscale restaurant. I would give more stars,but they aren't avilable. THANK YOU!!

Darn, I forgot to take a picture, too! Delicious, though I did improvise, because I wanted to add some cheese. I added some dried basil (about 1/2 teaspoon), 1/4 grated gouda type cheese, and 1 tbs. flour dissolved in a couple tablespoons of water to emulsify the cheese. Also, without sherry in the house, I used a dry white wine. I served it on pasta with a side fresh salad. Everyone loved it and wished there was more!

It was nice but the consistancy was a bit off for me. It didn't thicken at all, and 1 lb of mushrooms made the 1/3 cup of cream disappear to the bottom of the pan. Made it with chicken and mushroom loaf recipe #76373.

DELICIOUS! I made this sauce to serve with your chicken and mushroom loaf recipe#76373. I doubled the recipe and used 1 chopped onion, and whipping cream with the half and half for this, What a fantastic meal this was...another winner Marg, thank you for sharing!...Kitten:)
