Mushroom Tetrazzini

Submitted by CookingONTheSide

"This could serve 1 or 2, depending on how hungry you both are. Update 4/15/07: Mushrooms should be sauteed in separate skillet and drained of any liquid before adding to the sour cream. I also changed the recipe to use regular cheddar cheese, finely grated."

I doubled this recipe and added 1/2 cup mayonnaise in with the sour cream, also 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder and some cayenne, I used regular white button mushrooms in place of the shiitake, I really should have tripled this as I only got a small taste, my DS and DH enjoyed this, thanks for sharing hon!...Kitten:)

Mushrooms are one of my favorite veggies and this dish is delicious. I will definitely make again.

This was good but two inconsistencies in the recipe made it difficult to prepare. Step #4 says to add turkey, but no turkey is listed in the ingredients so I didn't add any turkey as I was making this as a side dish. Also, the directions never mention what to do with the mushrooms, which is odd because the recipe is called 'Mushroom Tetrazzini'! I ended up lightly sauteing the mushrooms right before step #3, then proceeded with the rest of the recipe except for the addition of the turkey. The taste was OK, a bit mushy and I'll never use reduced fat cheddar cheese again....it just doesn't have the right taste or consistency and, in my opinion, if you're going to use cheese, go for the best! Sorry for the 3 * Lainey....the recipe needs to be edited.
