This Parmesan Mushroom Casserole is absolutely delicious and the best thing is that it can be made ahead and finished off in the oven. The sliced mushrooms are bathed in a creamy sauce, topped with a crispy parmesan breadcrumb mixture. It's a vegetarian side dish that goes well with many main courses. All I can say is YUM, so good!
Ingredients
2 pounds baby bella mushrooms, sliced
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground pepper
½ cup sour cream
¼ cup Parmesan cheese plus 1 tablespoon, divided
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley plus 1 tablespoon, divided
1 tablespoon lemon juice
¼ cup panko breadcrumbs
Directions
1Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat an 8-inch-square baking dish with cooking spray.
2Heat ¼ cup oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring, until soft and starting to brown, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. In batches, add mushrooms, stirring and allowing them to cook down a bit before adding another handful, until they've lost their opaqueness but some liquid is still in the pan. Sprinkle flour, salt and pepper over the vegetables and cook, stirring, until thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in sour cream, ¼ cup Parmesan, ¼ cup parsley and lemon juice. Transfer to the prepared baking dish.
3Combine panko and the remaining 1 tablespoon each oil, Parmesan and parsley in a small bowl; mix with your fingers until well blended. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the mushroom mixture. Bake until bubbling and the breadcrumbs are lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes.
To make ahead
1Prepare through Step 2 and refrigerate for up to two days. Let stand at room temperature while the oven preheats.

Just FYI — in Step 2 you have us cooking onion and garlic, but they’re not listed in the ingredients.
But the dish sounds luscious!
