What You’ll Need to Make One Pan Sausage, Mushrooms and Gravy

• Sausages – one pound. We typically use Italian Sausages but you could also use Bratwurst, Hot Sausages, Chicken Sausages or even meatballs for this meal.

• Butter – we use regular salted butter, but unsalted may also be used.

• Onion– we use one large yellow onion, about 1 1/2 cups, sliced and separated into rings. White onions, red onions, or even shallots may be used instead.

• Beef Broth – Vegetable or chicken broth may be used instead if that is what you have available.

• Mushrooms – 16 ounces, quartered. We use Baby Bellas but you can use any kind. White or Shiitake mushrooms are just as good!

• Balsamic vinegar – 2 tablespoons. This adds so much to the finished flavor!

• Italian Seasoning – one tablespoon. If you don’t have Italian seasoning, use 1/2 tbsp dried basil and 1/2 tbsp dried oregano instead.

• Salt – regular table salt.

• Cornstarch – this is what we use to thicken the pan sauce into a gravy. Be sure to mix water into cornstarch so you don’t get lumps!
