Delicious & The BEST Italian Sauteed Mushrooms Recipe in the world – this is one of my favorite side dishes my mama makes.
I remember having a huge family gatherings at my mama’s house, on holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas and these Italian Sauteed Mushrooms recipe. My mama would cook a huge turkey and few side dishes, while everyone else would bring desserts and appetizers.
Everyone loves my mom’s sautéed mushrooms! You wouldn’t believe how easy it is to make this mushroom recipe.
All you will need is 5 ingredients and one SECRET SAUCE.
COOKING this easy holiday side dish will only take about 15 minutes, plus it can be made ahead of time. What I am saying, is that it tastes even better after 48 hours, because mushrooms will marinate in the Secret Sauce and will make mushrooms taste extra yummy.
Such a win too because that means you can prep ahead!

Can Mushrooms be Reheated?
Have you ever wondered, can mushrooms be reheated? They were so good at that holiday party last night, so why not have them again the next day, right?
It is recommended not to preheat cooked mushrooms because it can upset the belly.

For the last 2 years we have made this dish to go with our Christmas dinner. It have become a favorite side dish. I give you 10 starts for this recipe.

This recipe was very similar to the marinated mushrooms I used to buy from my local deli when I lived in NY. I followed the recipe exactly as written and the results were fabulous for mushroom lovers. They taste even better the next day!! I do recommend using an Italian dressing with no sugar (such as Ken’s) if you don’t care for a hint of “sweet” that is found in some Italian dressings.
Sweet Basil
Thank you so much Jean! I love finding recipes that connect me to places or memories! And that is a great tip on the no sugar dressing!
Craig L Stedry
I added a yellow pepper as well for some added color! Loved this recipe! I may try adding some Italian seasoning next time and see how that goes!
Sweet Basil
Yellow pepper…great idea! So glad you enjoyed this! I think Italian seasoning would be amazing on these mushrooms! Thanks Craig!
Jeffrey J Blanchard
Loved these mushrooms, oh so tasty with the meatball subs I made tonite!!!!!!!!!
Sweet Basil
That sounds like heaven! Thank you for the feedback Jeffrey!
Tara Carrin
Oh, another thing I did differently was that I combined the spices and seasonings for Italian Dressing and added the dry seasoning instead of bottled dressing. I don’t like bottled dressing so I never have it on hand. That’s probably why I felt the need to add canned tomatoes. It was a dry dish without the bottled dressing and needed some liquid. The tomatoes hit the spot!
Sweet Basil
Totally makes sense!! Sounds so good!!!
Tara Carrin
This was so good! The taste and consistency were really yummy, especially for mushrooms.
I did change things up a bit because I can’t help myself. I added a can of diced tomatoes right at the end.
Making the recipe next time, I will cook the peppers in a separate pan so they’re ready when the mushrooms are. Then I’ll combine everything before adding the tomatoes.
Sweet Basil
Awesome! I’m so glad you loved it!!

How do you make Italian dressing? What are the ingredients you use?
Sweet Basil
Hey Roger! I just buy a good bottle of Italian salad dressing. You can definitely make your own dressing if you want. Just google “homemade Italian dressing”.

Hello, I had heard of it, but didn’t really know what it was. I knew it as a Mexican soup with hominy in it. But I also didn’t really know what hominy was. Apparently I am a sheltered food blogger.
