These sautéed mushrooms are tender, juicy, plumb and infused with a garlic and balsamic flavour.

This quick and easy side dish is great for the everyday to the holiday meal.

While I have plenty of recipes here that include mushrooms, such as Bacon Stuffed Appetizer Mushrooms or this Slow Cooker Mushroom Dip.

Yet I hadn’t yet shared my favourite sautéed mushrooms side yet. It was time!

A pan filled with mushrooms

I vividly recall dining on steak, sautéed mushrooms and baked potatoes a lot as a child. My Mom used to use her old cast iron skillet to cook the mushrooms in so much garlic butter.

I can still remember the scent and taste.

Growing up, my kids didn’t have this very often. Now and then, but no where near as often as I did.

We eat more variety than I used to, and their tastes reflect that since they have became little foodies themselves.

Alas, my kids have never cared much for mushrooms. Our steak sides were sautéed peppers, onions and mushrooms.

Enough of a choice to just push those few mushrooms off to the side.

This Sautéed Garlic Balsamic Mushrooms were my way to bring mushrooms back baby. And it worked like a charm! My kids said they’d try just one, ended up eating quite a few.

They proclaimed they still didn’t like mushrooms but if they had to eat them, this was the way. Success!

Balsamic is one of my favourites, that sweet and tangy flavour adds so much to a recipe. Don’t believe me? Also try this Crispy Oven Rosemary Balsamic Potatoes recipe – it’s heaven!

It’s nice to have a variety of delicious and easy side dishes that compliment a variety of meals, and this is a perfect one.

A side for Air Fryer Steak Bites, accompanying poultry such as this Pesto Stuffed Chicken, or simply on it’s own – these are mouthwatering.
