I stopped using the butter in this recipe years ago. There is enough butter fat in the cheese. Have also tried with many different soups i.e. cream of chicken or celery or whatever you want. Chopped or cut up ham, turkey ham, little smokies, hot dogs, chicken, hamburger or ??? is also great as variations. Or try adding different vegetables.

I never use butter in mine and add a layer of hamburger (bacon or sausage) on the bottom to keep it from sticking to the dish. I like to add extra chopped mushrooms and garlic also. Instead of cheddar cheese I use mozzarella or a cheddar/mozzarella combo.

Yum... I love this recipe and I leave out the butter too! I'm making it today for memorial day!

Try the recipe with cream of onion soup. It gives the potato casserole a little different taste than the mushroom soup. I don't particularly care for mushrooms so I like it much better with the creamy onion soup.

Thank you, your recipe is wonderful.

Love it... Thanks... Easy and cheap!

I added half cream of mushroom soup and half cream of chicken soup, the taste was wonderful!
