Mushroom sauce can be done with any type of stock, but I used beef stock here since I'm going to be serving with meatloaf.

Ingredients

¼ cup butter
1 (16 ounce) package sliced mushrooms
salt to taste
¼ cup all-purpose flour, or as needed
1 quart beef stock

Heat butter over medium heat in a saucepan until it foams. Stir in mushrooms. Season with salt. Simmer until liquid evaporates, about 20 minutes.
Stir in the flour, cooking and stirring for about 5 minutes. Add about 1 cup of beef stock, stirring briskly until incorporated, then pour in the remaining stock and mix thoroughly.
