Cook sliced onions slowly until soft and deeply browned, then add the mushrooms and sauté them until tender. Cooking the mushrooms in a separate pan first helps keep the onions caramelizing rather than simmering in the mushrooms’ released liquid.
Mushrooms release moisture as they cook, especially when crowded in a pan. Use a wide, hot pan and cook in batches so the liquid can evaporate; adding salt after the mushrooms begin to brown can also help them sear.
Cremini or white button mushrooms are reliable choices for mushrooms with caramelized onion. Cremini have a deeper flavor, while shiitake or oyster mushrooms bring a firmer, more distinctive texture; remove tough shiitake stems before cooking.
Yes, you can make mushrooms with caramelized onion ahead and refrigerate them in a covered container. Reheat them in a skillet rather than the microwave when possible, so excess moisture can evaporate and the mushrooms regain some of their browned edges.
Mushrooms with caramelized onion work well over polenta, pasta, toast, or mashed potatoes. They also make a savory topping for burgers and grain bowls; add a fresh salad or crisp vegetables to balance their soft, rich texture.
Yes, mushrooms with caramelized onion can be frozen, although the mushrooms may become softer after thawing. Cool the mixture first, freeze it in an airtight container, and reheat it in a skillet to cook off moisture.
Mushrooms with caramelized onion keep for a few days in a covered container in the refrigerator. Refrigerate leftovers promptly, and reheat only the portion you plan to eat rather than repeatedly warming the whole batch.
Yes, cook the onions first because proper caramelization takes longer than cooking mushrooms. Once the onions are browned and tender, add the mushrooms; alternatively, brown the mushrooms separately and combine them at the end.
Yes, rehydrated dried mushrooms can be used in mushrooms with caramelized onion, but their flavor is more concentrated than fresh mushrooms. Soak them until pliable, drain them well, and add them after the onions have caramelized.
No, added sugar is not necessary for mushrooms with caramelized onion. Slowly cooked onions develop sweetness on their own; a little sugar may speed browning, but it can make the finished dish taste noticeably sweeter.

Mushrooms with caramelized onion is a simple pan-cooked mixture of sliced mushrooms and onions, cooked until the onions soften and turn sweet and golden. It is a familiar home-style preparation rather than a dish tied to one particular region. The mushrooms bring a tender, savoury bite, while slow-cooked onion adds sweetness and a deeper, rounded flavour.
It works as a side with eggs, roasted vegetables, meat or grains, and can also be spooned onto toast or served as part of a mezze-style spread. The dish is vegetable-led, with modest fibre and relatively little protein, so pair it with beans, lentils or another protein source for a more substantial meal. To keep it lighter, use just enough oil to cook the vegetables without letting them stick.
High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
