- In a large skillet, melt the remaining butter over medium-high heat.
- As soon as the butter has melted, add the mushrooms and sauté for about 10 minutes, just until they begin to brown. Remove from the heat.
- Meanwhile, in a medium pot, add the heavy cream, cream cheese, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and poultry seasoning and whisk to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer and allow to thicken slightly whisking occasionally, about 5 to 7 minutes.

- Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish and top with the bread crumb mixture.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the sides are bubbly.
- If you prefer a darker topping you can broil the casserole for a few minutes, watching it carefully so you don't burn it.
