German-Style Mushroom Sauce

Description

I use this recipe to top my fried pork chops (also on this site). Together with a side of my homemade spaetzle, this dish reminds me of my favorite German-style town, Leavenworth, WA! My meal cost: $2.10 (53 cents per person)

  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 10 mushrooms, thickly sliced
