ZIP SAUCE- FROM A VERY POPULAR RESTAURANT IN MICHIGAN -EXCELLENT

Steps:

• Melt the butter, the restaurant clarifies it, but I don't take the time--excellent either way.
• I don't measure the Maggi's out exactly, I do it by color and my taste preference, should be about 2 tablespoons.
• Then add mushrooms.
• Simmer on low until mushrooms are done.
• This can be a bit salty so you may want to taste as you add the Maggi's.
• This is one of my specialties--everyone asks for the recipe.
