Vegetarian Mushroom Stuffing

This is a great vegetarian mushroom stuffing--but meat lovers in my family love it too! I have made this earlier in the day and refrigerated it until I'm ready to cook in the oven before dinner--which can save some time. You can also used packaged bread cubes for stuffing as a time saver.
