Notes

I recommend starting this recipe on the stove because it is easier to adjust your flavors on the stove as opposed to baking everything together at once and hoping for the best. Casseroles that contain cream of mushroom soup tend to be heavy. But by taking control of the flavor and weight in advance, we have a recipe for success.
