Notes
To make this Hamburger Mushroom Bake gluten free, omit the bread crumbs or crushed crackers, or replace them with certified gluten-free bread crumbs or crushed gluten-free crackers.
Also verify that the seasoned salt, shredded cheese, cream cheese, dried parsley, and any packaged seasonings are labeled gluten free. Some seasoning blends and pre-shredded cheeses may contain anti-caking agents or additives, so checking labels is important. Freshly grated cheese and plain seasonings are the safest options.
