Note

This recipe originally included caraway seed, which adds a distinct anise-like flavor; if you prefer a milder taste, you can omit it or replace it with dried thyme.

For a vegetarian version, substitute cream of chicken soup with cream of mushroom soup or a vegetable-based cream soup.

Make sure to drain the mushrooms well to prevent the casserole from becoming too watery.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven until warmed through.
