Mushroom Business

Original Day Family Cookbook

A good buffet dish, particularly with a beef dish.

Ingredients:

• • ½ to 1 pound of fresh mushrooms, coarsely sliced

  • White bread, buttered and cut into 1 inch squares

    • 3 slices

    • 3 slices

    • 2 slices

  • ½ cup chopped onion

  • ½ cup mayonnaise

  • ½ cup chopped celery

  • ½ cup chopped green pepper

  • Salt and pepper

  • 2 eggs, slightly beaten

  • 1-½ cups of milk

  • 1 can mushroom soup, undiluted

  • Grated yellow cheese

Directions:

Saute mushrooms, coarsely sliced, in butter, just enough so they start to smell like mushrooms.

Put 3 three slices of buttered white bread, cut into 1 inch squares, in casserole dish. Combine mushrooms with chopped onion, mayonnaise, chopped celery, chopped green pepper, salt and pepper, and put it on the bread.

Cut 3 more slices of buttered bread the same way, and put them in next (I usually don't use this extra bread.)

Pour eggs, slightly beaten, with milk over it. Refrigerate at least one hour - more is okay, or overnight. An hour before serving, spoon a can of undiluted mushroom soup over it, and 2 more slices of bread, diced smaller. Bake at 300^o for 60-70 min. or 325^o for 50-60 min. About ten min. before done, sprinkle some grated yellow cheese on top.
