make a white sauce with flour and butter and milk

add cheese

add mushrooms

i fry mushrooms off in garlic and butter and salt and pepper before ..or sometumes just add the mushrooms to the sauce but mushrooms let out lots of water so the sauce is normally thicker before the mushrooms

oh and normally add cheese after you take the sauce off the heat as it splits sometimes and tastes grainy

I don't recall sharing a winning recipe.
Cheese sauces and mushroom sauces are the easiest things in the world

I do my mushroom sauce a little different. Melt two tablespoons of butter in a saucepan, and dump in a cup of mushrooms. Add salt, freshly ground, coarse black pepper and a dash of garlic (if it's your thing). Let the mushrooms slooowly fry until the pan is fairly dry. Add another tablespoon of butter, and add a tablespoon of flour, and mix well. Add a cup of cream, and slowly bring to the boil. Add a little bit more flour depending on how thick you want the sauce. After it's thickened you can adjust the salt and whatnot if you wish.

This is the only way I can make a mushroom sauce so it adapts to that classic grey colour, and it's awesome. I sometimes also make that sauce, but 3 times as much with less flour, then I'll drop some simmered fillet medallions into the sauce and let them float-cook on top of the sauce until done. A.MA.ZING.

Should make it again. Soon, methinks.

I don't use flour at all. I just saute the mushrooms until they're done, remove and drop in a tiny bit of onion, sweat them off, then drop in some garlic for 30 seconds, add back the mushrooms and add cream. You can also add in the cream before the mushrooms, simmer until the cream is thick enough, then add in the mushrooms.

Oh and herbs. Thyme/rosemary. And season, obviously.

That'll also do it. I just like the sauce thicker quicker. Reducing the cream would also work :D

Thanks Sammy. The wife does her cheese sauce just like this so it'll be all good.

Thanks all

I do same as Sam except I nuke my mushrooms with a little garlic and a teaspoon lemon juice in the microwave for a minute or 2, just to release the water. Then I add them to my cheesey white sauce
