Ham and Chicken Casserole
2 cups of uncooked egg noodles
4 Tbl of butter
4 Tbl of white flour
2 cups of milk
8 oz of cooked chicken, cubed. I buy the prepacked, cooked chicken and just
cut it up. I choose the Italian, grilled version so you get some more flavor
mixed in.
1 cup of cooked diced ham. All I did was buy a small ham steak and cube it
up.
1/2 cup of chopped celery. I made mine sliced celery instead of chopped, so
the chunks are bigger. Having a bit of crunch really gave the casserole texture.
1/2 tsp of salt
1/2 tsp of pepper
8 oz of shredded Cheddar cheese. Next time I'd use half Gruyere and half
Cheddar to give it a bit of a denser flavor
1/2 tsp of cayenne (or to taste). I'm always adding some zip. This is
optional, but even people who like bland food appreciated this.
1 tsp of paprika
Preheat oven to 400 degrees and grease a 9 X 13 ovenproof pan.
In a soup pot or pasta pot, bring water to a boil (fill it so it will cover
the noodles well). Once it's boiling put in your noodles. Cook for 6 - 8
minutes (or according to package directions). Stir half way through the cooking
time. Drain.
While that's happening you can work on your sauce. In a large sauce pan,
put in your butter and melt it on medium. Add the flour and mix, stirring
constantly. Keep stirring. You are making a roux and the base for a traditional
white sauce. Slowly add your milk. Stir on medium for 5 minutes or until your
sauce thickens. Remove from heat. If your pot is big enough you can mix the
rest in with the noodles or you might need to use a large bowl. Mix the sauce,
the noodles, chicken, ham, cheese, celery, salt, pepper and cayenne. Spoon the
mixture into your baking dish and sprinkle on the paprika for color. Bake
uncovered for 15-20 minutes or until the whole thing is hot, melted and gooey.
Serve hot.
A simple salad on the side and a piece of bread to push around the noodles
and you are all set.
Or you can curl up with a bowl of it and watch a movie like we did.
Enjoy!
Cheers,
Steve Boodram
