How to Make Mushroom Cheese Sauce

  1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cornstarch and milk until completely smooth. There should be no lumps.
  2. Add 2 tablespoons of butter, the basil, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
  3. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, whisking constantly.
  4. Continue to simmer for 1 minute, whisking continuously, until the sauce has thickened.
  5. Reduce heat to low. Stir in the sour cream and cheese.
  6. Continue to stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  7. In a separate skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and sauté until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
