Storage and Freezing Tips:

Tips:

Be sure to slice your mushrooms evenly so that they cook at the same rate.
The key to perfectly caramelized onions is to cook them low and slow. Don't rush the process!
Resist the urge to stir the onions and mushrooms too often. Let them sit in the pan and develop those delicious caramelized bits on the bottom.
