"I'm not a big mushroom fan and even *I* liked it! Could not find dried mushrooms so I cooked all mushrooms (portabella and shitake) together before adding carrots, celery, etc. I think it would be better to cook the carrots, celery, onions & garlic BEFORE adding the mushrooms (or cook the mushrooms separately), because carrots were still a littl""

"This is such a good recipe, especially since I don't like mushrooms! I added onions, peppers, and a handful of fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, oregano.

"Oh yeah, almost forgot. I also added minced garlic to the saute. And also added some gruyere cheese to the cheese mixture."

"Pretty darn good. I made a lot of it and was concerned that the 2 of us would have to choke it down for the remainder of the week. Not to worry...it's half gone after just 1 night. Anyway...
