From the Gooseberry Homestyle Family Favorites, this recipe is pretty good and makes a lot! With just me and my husband, we were eating leftovers for days. They reheated well but my husband and I found this recipe to taste something like a tuna helper dish.
So it’s not high on our list to make again. But if it sounds like something you’d like to try I’ll share my notes.
I did not use the actual mushrooms, hence why I marked it as optional. But I did use the cream of mushroom soup. As someone who steers clear of mushrooms when I can, I will compromise with the cream of mushroom soup and I don’t find it to be too mushroomy. But perhaps that’s what lended to the flavoring we didn’t like? If I did it over again I’d use cream of chicken soup instead and see how that tasted. I’ve found cream of chicken soup to be a great substitute for when I’m picky about cream of mushroom.
That’s all the notes I have on the dish. But as a side I do recommend a tossed salad and some Garlic Butter Rolls. The rolls are great for helping to mop up the sauce!
