FAQs
Can I make Stuffed Mushroom Casserole ahead of time?

What’s the best substitute for heavy cream?
Half‑and‑half with a tablespoon of flour, or coconut milk for a dairy‑free option.
How do I store leftovers?
Cool to room temperature, then place in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Why did my casserole turn out dry?
Over‑baking or using low‑fat cheese can dry it out; add a splash of milk or keep the foil on for the first half of baking.
