"This recipe was given as a "easy comfort food." I had actually never tasted this before; but I do love mushrooms, so I thought I'd try it. And am I glad I did! This has to be one of the best new dishes I've tried in awhile. Whether for lunch or snack, if you like mushrooms, you'll love this dish!"
