I am not going to rate this until I make it right. Even with my mistakes it was tasty, but not quite satisfying enough as an entree. I forgot the cream. Instead of fresh mushrooms (which went bad) I used a combination of rehydrated dried mushrooms and about half a jar of mushrooms in a vinegar solution, which I rinsed to remove some of the acidity. I used a combination of white cheeses. Because I was running out of time, I just mixed everything together and spooned it into a casserole dish. I liked this but would have liked it a bit creamier, which the cream would have provided.

This was a big hit in my house! My DH raved about it and says that I should definitely keep it on my "make again and again" list. You know how silly I am, though, I completely forgot to add the heavy cream and the salt and pepper but it still had great flavor! Next time, though, I'll be sure to not miss that step. I used Havarti cheese, one of my favorites. Delish!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am the mother of three, wife of one :)
My teenager is the pickiest eater in the world, while my 3 year old will eat anything (though has been acting more and more fickle lately). Our newest addition was born in June 2008, so she doesn't really know much in the way of varieties of food. My husband says "I don't care what you fix, as long as it has meat in it."
I have thousands of recipes saved on my computer from over the years, and am constantly on the lookout for new ones. I also seem to have accumulated hundreds of cookbooks over the years. I am (slowly) trying to go thru all the recipes I have saved and add them to 'Zaar, but this will take some time. I try to only post things that my family (or I) will eat (though I haven't necessarily yet tried every recipe I have posted).
