My husband is not a casserole lover, but this creamy, cheesy dish is one of his favorites! Nutmeg gives it a wonderful, different taste. As a busy mother with three young sons, I put this easy recipe to good use. —Kelly Heusmann, Cincinnati, Ohio

This recipe has become part of the regular rotation in my house. I like to serve cranberry sauce on the side.

I made 8 batches of this yesterday for a mid-week church program. I modified smlarrabee's variation - used 1 cup mushrooms & 1 small onion - just started the onion a bit ahead of the mushrooms. This comes together very easily!! And it tastes great, too!!

Very good use of leftover chicken. All I did was add 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice to the butter the mushrooms are cooked in. Tasty comfort food.

My family loved this recipe! I did the same varation with the onions instead of mushrooms and also put the parmesan cheese into the sauce as well as on top. Really yummy!

I enjoyed this recipe, but made a few variations. I sauteed onions instead of mushrooms (just personal preference) and added a minced fresh garlic clove. I also used 2% milk instead of cream and then added some mild cheddar and mozzarella cheese. The nutmeg was a great surprise. Thanks!
