Baked Cheesy Mushrooms Casserole
This comforting, cheesy mushroom casserole makes a delicious side dish or even a main for mushroom lovers! Loaded with savory flavors, a creamy sauce, and a crispy topping, it’s a crowd-pleaser that’s easy to make.
Ingredients
- 1 lb button mushrooms sliced
- 1 tbsp olive oil for seasoning
- 1 tsp garlic powder for seasoning
- 1 tsp dried thyme for seasoning
- 1/2 tsp salt to taste
- 1/4 tsp black pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese for topping
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese for topping
- 1 cup heavy cream for creamy sauce
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter melted, for breadcrumb topping
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs optional, for crispy topping
- 1 fresh parsley chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- In a mixing bowl, combine sliced mushrooms with olive oil, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat the mushrooms evenly.
- Spread the seasoned mushroom mixture evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the mushrooms, creating a cheesy layer.
- Pour the heavy cream evenly over the mushrooms and cheese, which will form a creamy sauce as it bakes.
- In a separate bowl, combine melted butter with breadcrumbs, stirring until well mixed. Sprinkle this breadcrumb mixture over the top of the casserole.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the sauce is bubbling around the edges.
- For an extra crispy topping, broil the casserole for an additional 2-3 minutes after baking. Watch closely to avoid burning.
- Let the casserole rest for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
For an added twist, try mixing in chopped spinach with the mushrooms before baking.
