This mushroom casserole is amazing. Just the aroma it releases whilst you prepare dinner it's going to allow you recognise how sensible it’s going to be.

How to make mushroom casserole
Since mushrooms launch fairly a little bit of liquid whilst cooked, you can’t just placed them in a dish and bake. You have got to saute them first.

So to make this dish, I saute the mushrooms and chopped onions in olive oil till the mushrooms have launched their liquid and most of the liquid has evaporated.

Check out the video underneath within the recipe card to see the process. See the steam? That’s the mushroom’s liquid, evaporating.

Once the liquid has principally evaporated, you'll be able to move the mushrooms and onions to a greased baking dish, ideal with cheese and bake till the cheese is melted.

If your casserole dish is broiler-safe, you'll be able to also merely broil the casserole for 2-3 minutes, within the center of the oven. You don’t desire to get too near the heating aspect and threat burning the casserole.


What mushrooms to use? What cheese?
I desire to make use of brown mushrooms on this recipe as it makes the casserole seem extra presentable than white mushrooms. So I use child Bella or crimini mushrooms.

I use fairly much of mushrooms – 32 oz. But hold in thoughts that mushrooms lose tremendous quantity after they're cooked. Once cooked, they fit properly in a 2-quart casserole dish.

Since I’m lazy, I purchase pre-sliced mushrooms at Whole Foods. I also purchase pre-chopped onions. Which makes this casserole tremendous easy!

As for the cheese, gruyere is going wonderfully with mushrooms. But sometimes, whilst I actually have an open bag of pre-shredded Italian cheeses within the fridge, I use that instead.
