There are so many readily available gluten-free, dairy-free, even vegan alternatives nowadays, but sometimes you’ve just got to buck up and do it yourself. Especially when the dish highly depends on the product.
I’ve never found a ready substitute for Cream of Mushroom Soup—a key ingredient in numbers casserole dishes. So when the holiday season rolls around, I know I’ll be making this recipe more than once.
Thankfully it’s straight-forward, flavorful, and simple.
Double it up for extra to keep on hand during the holiday season. Store in fridge.
