I fixed this for a neighborhood potluck dinner. I omitted the salt and added about 1 cup of frozen mixed vegetables just to give this a "little color" and used cream of mushroom soup, diluted with about 1/4 soup can low soldium chicken broth and 1/4 soup can cooking sherry. My husband and neighbors loved it.

It was very good. I used Ritz instead of saltines.

Absolutely delicious! Used fresh mushrooms instead of canned and as I didn't have any saltines in the house I used ritz crackers instead. This casserole reheats well and can be made ahead and refrigerated before cooking. Would serve to company it's so tasty! Another TOH "keeper"!
