Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider adding a splash of low-fat milk or almond milk to the bouillon mixture. If you're looking for a lower sodium option, use low-sodium beef bouillon cubes. You can also substitute the mushrooms with zucchini or bell peppers for a different flavor profile. To enhance the dish, sprinkle some grated low-fat cheese before baking.
