Notes
How to clean mushrooms: When bringing your mushrooms home from the grocery store, they will probably have some dirt on them. The best way to clean them is to wipe them with a damp paper towel one at a time before rinsing them with cold water. Never soak mushrooms since they will absorb water like a sponge.
How to store: Store leftover creamy garlic mushrooms in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
How to reheat: Reheat in a skillet over medium-low heat until warmed through, about 5 minutes. If the sauce has thickened up too much in the refrigerator, then add a splash of water until desired consistency is reached.
