Cremini Mushroom Dressing has baby portabellas and is all wrapped up in a casserole. Rich flavors makes this recipe a Thanksgiving perennial favorite.

Mushroom dressing is one of my favorite side dishes.  I was hoping to make a new dressing this year that had rich moist flavors that everyone would love. Well, this is it.

Under 10 ingredients and they are all very important to keep this side perfectly moist with great taste.

Cremini Mushroom Dressing is loaded with baby portabellas and the main spice is sage.  The sage really puts it over the top.  This is a super simple casserole and since dressing freezes so perfectly it is a great dish to make in large quantities.

You don’t need any gravy to go with it but if you have a favorite vegan gravy, then please, serve on the side.  I am an addict for dressing and gravy.

I’m also working on a gravy for the blog but in the meantime here is one that I have made before and it is really good.  I like the onion cut really small for this Vegan Gravy.

This year I bought extra boxes of Herbed Stuffing Mix so that I can make it throughout the year. True, I freeze it in small batches for lunch but it still goes too fast.

I’m determined to be able to make it after Thanksgiving too.  This stuff is that good.

I’ve got another dressing that utilizes plant-based sausage that is also delicious.  It’s Vegan Sausage Stuffing Casserole and uses seasoned cornbread stuffing mix.  Check it out!

So I hope we are all having Cremini Mushroom Dressing in our homes this year.  I think it will become one of your perennial favorites too.

 

Cremini Mushroom Dressing has baby portabella, is an easy recipe and is rich in flavor.

Recipe Notes

Leftovers freeze beautifully. I will make this recipe just to freeze in single sized servings. It heats so quickly in the microwave and is a really tasty snack or lunch.

IF FREEZING:

Let cool to room temperature.
Cover with plastic wrap and then slide into a freezer bag. If you want to put the stuffing into small containers then follow one of the directions as defined in my article Preparing Food for the Freezer
TO PREPARE AFTER FREEZING:
Remove from the freezer and put in the refrigerator to defrost from 4 to 6 hours.

The night of serving -

Place the dressing in a microwavable safe bowl and heat on high for about 2 to 3 minutes stirring every minute.
Ready to serve.

  5. This looks like a great alternative to traditional dressing, or stuffing as we call it in our house! I love mushrooms, I only wish my fella loved them as much as me. I might have to sneak them in more often though.

  16. So.. I am like a 6 year old kid when it comes to mushrooms, I usually try and avoid them, but everything else in this recipe looks delicious so in the wise words of my mother “If you try it, you might like it!”
