This Sautéed Mushrooms and Onions recipe is super flavorful, healthy, and simple to make. Serve this crowd-pleasing recipe as a side dish, with a steak or on a burger.
This easy Sautéed Mushrooms and Onions recipe is a tasty, savory side dish you can whip up in about 10 minutes. In this recipe, white button mushrooms are sautéed with a bit of olive oil, butter, onion, thyme, Worcestershire and soy sauce to make a well-seasoned, palate-pleasing dish.
Mushrooms carry a lot of moisture and in order to cook properly, they have to release their liquid. In this recipe, the moisture is drawn from the mushrooms by applying heat and then evaporated. This cooking technique leaves the mushrooms perfectly browned, slightly reduced in size and tender.
Health Benefits of Mushrooms
Not only do mushrooms taste delicious, they have a myriad of impressive health benefits:
- Mushrooms contain a powerful antioxidant called selenium, which helps to support the immune system and prevent damage to cells and tissues
- They are a great source of B vitamins, fiber, protein and antioxidants
- Mushrooms are very low in calories – for example, six medium white button mushrooms are only 22 calories.

August 29, 2017 at 2:16 pmOh I absolutely love sauteed mushrooms. I have them in my burgers or on a slice of toast with a bit of cheese. I have never added Worcestershire sauce to it. It really must taste delicious with that addition. I am looking forward to trying out this recipe. Looks delicious ?
Alia says
August 29, 2017 at 8:43 pmI love sautéed mushrooms too! I even eat them on their own sometimes. You should definitely try adding Worcestershire sauce to them! It adds a really great meaty flavor to the mushrooms. I hope you get to try the recipe soon! 🙂

August 30, 2017 at 11:11 pmSauteed mushrooms are my favourite side dish! I’ve never tried it with Worcestershire sauce before but it sounds like a great sauce for mushrooms too. Just bought a big pack of mushrooms so will have a go at it.

September 4, 2017 at 5:20 pmI could definitely just eat this as a meal, which is weird, because as a kid the thought would’ve given me nightmares! Funny (and awesome) how much our tastes change!
Alia says
September 4, 2017 at 5:27 pmHi Nicole! I could definitely eat this as a meal too!! I have always been a mushroom-lover, but that is true how our tastes change with time. When I was a kid I despised the taste of honey (odd I know), and now I have it in my tea every single day! 🙂

September 7, 2017 at 10:40 pmYum!!!! I am picturing this with an aoli sauce and roasted poblano peppers inside a panini (instead of meat). Mushrooms are my favorite!
Alia says
September 10, 2017 at 5:02 pmMmmm that sounds super yummy, Maria! 🙂 I love mushrooms too! And I think you should definitely make that vegetarian panini sometime! 😉
