You keep hitting it out of the ball park!! This was delicious and oh so easy. I didn't have fresh mushrooms ☹ so I used canned. I used half and half because that is what I had on hand. Even with these changes, the dish was yummy. I am not a fan of using creamed soups for gravy, so I chose this recipe. I am so glad I did. Thank You.
