I would love to make my own creamy mushroom sauce instead of using a canned cream soup but I'd like to know if this one has a strong cream cheese taste and texture because a whole package is used. There's someone in my family who does not like a lot of cream cheese in casseroles-some is fine. Readers, do you think I could I use half the amount of cream cheese and leave it at that or do I need to substitute the same amount with something else, say creme fraiche?
