I was thrilled to just see the episode with this recipe on it as I am 5 mos. pregnant and have been on a crusade to reduce or eliminate food with preservatives and crazy chemicals with hundreds of letters in their names.

Condensed soup is the WORST and so are those canned onions. Headaches, allergies, and obesity can mostly be attributed to America's lust for convenience in prepackaged and fast foods. Pregnant ladies are not the only ones who need to watch what they eat!

I appreciate that AB tries very hard to use fresh ingredients and has a DIY attitude when it comes to cooking. It's healthier and just plain smarter!

I tried this last week as a prelude to serving it to guests on Thanksgiving. The flavor was terrific; all that freshness really comes through. Like others, I was pleasantly surprised by the onion rings. i really didn't think that little bit of flour/breadcrumb mixture would make them crunchy enough, but it did. I will also turn down the temp on those next time as some did get over done - and i'll make more of them. While I followed the recipe to the letter, and greatly appreciate Alton's attention to detail when explaining the size of the mushroom pieces instead of just 'chopped mushrooms', I will slice the mushrooms next time - the bigger chunks created an odd texture in the sauce, and I'll use less. It was a little TOO mushroomy for me. I also tried to use fat free half and half (it was already in the fridge but it didn't really get very thick. I'll spring for the real thing for the holiday. Overall, a wonderful version of the old classic using fresh ingredients.

.....has anyone made this with a vegetable broth instead of the chicken broth? Can't use the chicken broth due to vegetarians that will be eating this, but would like to make sure it will taste just as good before making it. Thanks!

I made this last Thanksgiving and it's now a permanent addition to our table. Great flavor and it's so nice to have a classic re-invented with fresh ingredients. Everyone was impressed and a friend who hates mushrooms appreciated it since she could just eat around them! I had the same problem with the onions so I just mixed the ones that were carmelized into everything else and topped the dish with the panko, we had the great onion flavor with the crunch on top. I also made it the day before and added the topping before I baked it off. Sitting overnight probably gave the flavors that much more time to blend.

I did have some trouble with the onions, some of them got a little overly done and others stayed a little soggy (even with frequent tossing. The panko and flour, rather than sticking to the onion, formed strange (but tasty crunchy clumps, but the green beans and the mushroom sauce were amazing. Overall, I think it is a dramatic improvement over an old idea, but I think I will try store-bought fried onions in the future.

The only thing I am going to do different is use more onions and more panko bread crumbs my onions didn't turn out as crunchy as I like. Otherwise we devoured this dish, it was great!

I've made lots of dishes from the site for family get-togethers(mostly from AB, but this was hands down the biggest hit.

I actually felt that the onions were the best part. I divided them up between two cookie sheets and lowered the temp to 400 and avoided some of the burning problems others had. The recipe itself was very good and will make again.
