Note
This casserole cooks up a little loose and soupy. If desired, add a second can of mushroom soup and simply adjust the calories for a thicker result.
You can also use Shirataki noodles. The rice is simply easier to serve.
You can half the nutritional yeast to reduce calories.
Frozen mushrooms release more liquid, so if you use fresh, you may need to add more milk.
