In a large bowl, combine sliced mushrooms, grated Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, and 1/2 cup melted margarine; mix well.

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in prepared mushrooms, cook for 4 minutes, and set aside.
Step 5

Add remaining melted margarine to a large saucepan, mix in flour, garlic, and Italian dressing mix. Gradually mix in milk until thickened. Stir in shredded sharp cheddar cheese until melted.
Step 6
