Mushroom Sauce

Inspiration for this recipe came from a book called, "The Mormon Ward Cookbook."  Their version is much better, but its also full of fat and high in calories.  A friend of mine made it, and it was very good, but...not very good for you.  I had leftover mushrooms to use up tonight, a little bit of broccoli and one piece of leftover pork.  After some consideration, I came up with a meal for the four of us, and might I say it was filling and delicious.

MUSHROOM SAUCE for 4

About 2 cups finely chopped mushrooms
One clove of garlic
----sautee these together with a little pam spray on medium.  Stir so as not to burn, as you don't have a lot of oil in the pan.  You can use oil of course, but this is a low calorie version.

Add 2 cups 1% warm milk that has 1 TBS. of cornstarch mixed in and 1 cup low-fat sour cream.  Stir until completely mixed and it thickens.  Salt and pepper to taste.

This can go on just about anything...noodles, beef, fish.  I put a cup of brown rice on a plate, topped it with steamed broccoli and a few pieces of the pork, and then poured on the mushroom sauce.  With little bits of mushroom and the chewy brown rice, it made a hit for dinner.  Enjoy!
