    "When you are sautéeing the mushrooms, be careful not to overcrowd the pan. Overcrowding the pan will result in mushy, watery mushrooms. You want each mushroom slice to touch the pan's bottom so it can sear and brown. If your pan isn’t large enough, sauté the mushrooms in multiple batches."—Hannah Zimmerman, Recipe Developer

The flavor is a mix of creamy mushroom soup and goulash, all thanks to one special ingredient: Hungarian sweet paprika."—Devan Grimsrud, Recipe Developer
