- 2 (283g) cans creamed mushrooms

Method
- Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F, gas mark 6).
- Melt the butter in a saucepan. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 mins.
- Take the pan off the heat and gradually stir in the milk to get a smooth cheese sauce. Return to the heat, continue stirring. Bring to the boil then simmer for 8-10 mins.
- Add half the grated cheese and heat gently for 1 min, whisking until the cheeses have melted, season with nutmeg, salt and black pepper.
- Put the creamed mushrooms into a bowl and combine with half the cheese.

I am a little dissapointed that James Martin couldn`t have come up with a better offering. It seems as if he feels its not worth putting any effort into a recipe unless it has meat in it.
