Ingredients for One Pan, Sausage, Mushrooms & Gravy on a board.

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

  • Sausages – We typically use one pound of prepackaged Italian Sausages, either sweet or hot. You can substitute Bratwurst, 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 – We prefer the flavor of beef broth but vegetable or chicken broth may be used in it’s place if that is what you have available.

  • Mushrooms – We use a 16 ounce package of mushrooms, sliced or quartered. We like to use Baby Bellas (Portabella mushrooms) but you can use any kind. White, brown or Shiitake mushrooms are just as good!

  • Balsamic Vinegar – 2 tablespoons. This adds so much to the finished flavor! If you don’t have Balsamic, use Worcestershire sauce.

  • Italian Seasoning – We add one tablespoon of Italian Seasoning to make the flavorful gravy. If you don’t have Italian seasoning, use 1/2 tbsp dried basil and 1/2 tbsp dried oregano instead.

  • Cornstarch – this is what we use to thicken the pan sauce into a gravy. Be sure to mix the water into the cornstarch to avoid any lumps!

How to Make One Pan Sausage, Mushrooms & Gravy

We really like meals that are easy to make, tasty and satisfying. One Pan Sausage, Mushrooms & Gravy is a great weeknight “go to” meal in our house.

Using only common pantry ingredients, packaged sausage and serving over noodles or mashed potatoes make this an all in one meal that your family will love!

Sausages cut into bite sized pieces in a skillet.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add bite sized sausage pieces. Cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring often until no longer pink and cooked through.

Internal temperature of sausages should be at least 165 degrees F on an instant read thermometer.

Cooked sausage pieces, removed to a plate.

Remove cooked sausage to a paper towel lined plate and set aside.

Onions and butter in the skillet.

Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter and onions to the pan. Cook until softened and caramelized, stirring often, about 10 minutes.

Without cleaning the pan, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter and onions. Cook until softened and caramelized, stirring often. This will take about 10 minutes.

Adding mushrooms, beef broth, salt, Balsamic vinegar and Italian seasoning to the skillet.

Add mushrooms, beef broth, salt, Balsamic vinegar and Italian seasoning. Stir until combined. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a bubble.

Adding the cornstarch mixture into the skillet to thicken up the gravy.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl or a measuring cup, add 1/2 cup of water to 2 tablespoons of cornstarch and stir until combined.

Slowly stir cornstarch mixture into the skillet mushroom mixture. The sauce will begin thickening immediately.

Add Italian sausage pieces back into the skillet. Cook for 3-5 minutes until warmed through.

Serve over egg noodles, potatoes or pasta. Enjoy!
