Creamy, comforting, and loaded with flavor, this Mushroom and Potato Bake is a perfect cozy dish for any night.

1

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). This will create the perfect baking environment for your casserole.

2

Peel and slice the potatoes into thin rounds. Aim for about 1/8 inch thickness for even cooking. Set aside.

3

Clean the mushrooms and slice them. You want them to be about 1/4 inch thick so they cook evenly.

4

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once it's hot, add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing for about 3-4 minutes until they are soft and aromatic.

5

Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and have released their moisture.

6

In a greased baking dish, layer half of the sliced potatoes on the bottom. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Then, spread the mushroom mixture evenly over the potatoes.

7

Layer the remaining potato slices on top of the mushrooms, seasoning with salt, pepper, and thyme.

8

In a bowl, mix the cream and half of the cheese. Pour this mixture evenly over the layered potatoes and mushrooms, ensuring it's evenly distributed.

9

Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top as a delightful golden crust.

10

Cover with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and golden brown.

11

Let it sit for about 10 minutes before serving to allow it to set, making it easier to slice.
