Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
- Use any favorite mushrooms: white, baby bella or cremini mushrooms.
- Omit the thyme if desired.
- Use chicken broth or vegetable stock
- Use Greek yogurt in place of sour cream.
- Use light sour cream if preferred.
- For thicker sauce, remove ½ cup of the broth and place it in a small bowl and stir in the cornstarch. Then add it back to the slow cooker and cook for about 15 minutes until thickened.
