Simple Scallops Supreme - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 lbs scallops
14 ounces fresh large mushrooms, sliced
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup (undiluted)
1/4 cup sherry wine
1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon
1/2 - 3/4 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese

Preparation

If using previously frozen scallops, defrost them thoroughly and drain well. Pat them dry with paper towels. If scallops are very large, cut them in half. Brown the mushrooms in the butter. (You can use two 4 ounce cans drained mushrooms instead of the fresh mushrooms.) Combine all ingredients except the bread crumbs and cheese. Put in a shallow casserole dish. Sprinkle with bread crumbs and grated cheese. The cheese will get crispy. If you want it soft, wait to add it until the last 5 minutes of baking. Bake 1 hour at 350 degrees.
