How to Make Mushroom Cheese Sauce
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cornstarch and milk until completely smooth. There should be no lumps.
- Add 2 tablespoons of butter, the basil, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, whisking constantly.
- Continue to simmer for 1 minute, whisking continuously, until the sauce has thickened.
- Reduce heat to low. Stir in the sour cream and cheese.
- Continue to stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- 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.
- Gently stir the sautéed mushrooms into the cheese sauce.
