Learn how to make delicious sauteed mushrooms and caramelized onions on your stove-top with this easy recipe! They’re delicious and dangerously versatile, which means they’re sure to become your secret weapon for elevating any meal.

What’s up with Caramelization?

Caramelization is the process of browning that happens when sugar is heated. This powerful process transforms a raw, pungent, onion into sweet and flavorful deliciousness. This is why many who don’t like raw onion enjoy sauteed onion. It all depends on the preparation! It’s amazing how the caramelization process can transform a food!

With rich flavors and healthy ingredients, this sauteed mushroom and onion recipe is the best of both worlds.
