"Made this as a "try-out" for Thanksgiving dinner. My husband and mom loved it! At first I thought there was a little too much cayenne pepper, but my family disagreed. Without the cayenne pepper, the taste would be bland. The only pain was frying the shallots. I would suggest cooking the shallot along with the mushrooms. If you like the crumble effect on the top, just go with French's Onions. Will definitely be making this for Thanksgiving this year and might add a little "Tastefully Simple Onion Onion" seasoning to give it a little more!
