I am rating this 5 stars because it was really good, but I am going to do some things different next time. I used fresh dried bread (instead of stuffing cubes) which resulted in a more "mushy" texture than I like. I like seeing the individual cubes of bread, so next time I'll use Mrs. Cubbison's stuffing (or is it dressing? The big ones...) cubes. The only other thing i'll do is reduce the poultry seasoning by a tsp. It seemed to be the main taste and so a little reduction will help, I think. Also, I chopped the apples a bit small and they totally disappeared. Next time I'll do bigger chunks. Other than that this is a great recipe and I'll definitely try this again!

Like another reviewer I changed the servings to 8 so that I needed only a 8oz package of mushrooms. I diced them as suggested and sauteed them in the sauce pot with the green onions in the butter first to soften them and then added one can of beef broth. Once the broth started to boil I added the amount of Wondra (not regular flour)suggested, a little at a time, continuously stirring. I added just a few dashes of salt and pepper. The sauce turned out DELICIOUS! The ONLY thing I'd do differently next time is to either cut the mushrooms smaller (maybe use the food processor) OR cook them even softer before adding the broth. Nevertheless the taste was great and this was a super-easy sauce which tasted like I had cooked it for hours! YAY.

I'm being kind by giving this recipe 4 stars because I think my proportions were off somehow. I fried with the lite coating of breadcrumbs on top as suggested. Instead of then baking the patties with mushroom soup on top I baked them without the mushroom soup and added a homemade mushroom sauce when they came out of the oven. They were a bit dry and like I said, I think my proportions were off (too much oats?). Because I like the idea i'm going to try to make this again paying better attention to what i'm doing, and I will bake with the mushroom soup (or the sauce) on top. This meal DEFINITELY needed a green counterpoint ... definitely will be serving with a nice salad next time.
