Notes

- For a thicker gravy, you can cook uncovered during the last 30 minutes to reduce the sauce if desired.

- You can substitute fresh mushrooms if preferred, just ensure they are sliced thinly for even cooking.
- Adjust seasoning levels like Worcestershire sauce and garlic powder to taste if you prefer a stronger flavor profile.
