Tips:
- Choose the right mushrooms. For this recipe, cremini or white mushrooms are best, as they have a mild flavor and firm texture.
- Use fresh, flavorful vegetables. The vegetables in this casserole provide a pop of color and crunch, so make sure they're fresh and flavorful.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices. The spices in this recipe are just a starting point - feel free to add more or less to suit your taste.
- Don't overcook the mushrooms. Mushrooms should be cooked until they are tender but still have a little bit of a bite to them. Overcooking them will make them tough and rubbery.
- Serve the casserole immediately. This casserole is best served hot out of the oven. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
