I made this twice. The first time I made it exactly as written, that's why it gets 3, maybe 4 stars. I thought it was missing a bit of depth and dynamic. For a 5 star recipe substitute one of the cans of potato soup for mushroom, add chopped onion, more ham (or ham and back bacon/peameal bacon since I had some left over from another recipe), and crumble some real bacon on top, make sure the bacon is fairly crispy first, then put on top for the last 10 minutes. I promise great results, and to wow your guests! Also, the second time, I made this the night before. Which made made it super easy in the morning to just pop it in the oven.

I'm giving this 5 stars based on that it was actually super easy to make (it was my first time making mussels!), and my husband liked it! I don't eat seafood, so I couldn't tell ya. But it sure smelled amazing! Based on other reviewers, I doubled the garlic, and did NOT add cream as I wanted to keep things a bit healthier. I also made sure to have bread for dipping in the sauce (and that's exactly what hubby did!) Very easy, little work, with glamourous results. I'd serve this at a dinner party and wow guests for sure. I served this as an appetizer for the Lemon Garlic Tilapia on this site, and a salad.

This is my husbands favourite meal that I make. I also use italian seasoned bread crumbs (or add Italian seasoning to the bread crumbs, or some dried oregano and basil, garlic powder) I also used mozzarella instead of Monterey Jack. And my husband loves double breaded. Thanks for the recipe. It's a household favourite!
