2 cups soft bread crumbs
2 cups chicken broth
4 eggs, lightly beaten
2 celery ribs, chopped
4 Tbsp. finely chopped onion
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp poultry seasoning (or the equivalent amount, mixed, of: rosemary, thyme, hyssop, marjoram, and pepper, as I detest sage)
3 cups cubed cooked chicken
1 cup cooked rice
(1 4oz jar pimentos or, as I hate the things as much as I hate sage, enough red pepper and paprika as you feel like eating)
1/3 cup butter
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
3 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1-1/2 cups milk
Mix bread, eggs, broth, eggs, onion, salt, seasonings. Add in chicken and rice. Pour into 8 inch square baking pan, cook at 350 for 55-65 minutes or until bubbly and golden.
About halfway through that hour of cooking, in saucepan, mix butter and mushrooms, saute for a little while. (I did about 6 minutes, medium high, the recipe gave no such directions.) Stir in flour, salt, pepper. Gradually add milk. Bring to boil, cook and stir for two minutes or until thickened. Take off heat, wait for casserole to come out of oven. Cut, top with mushroom sauce, serve.Collapse
