~ Chicken stuff-a-roni with cheese sauce Recipe ~

----------------------------------FILLING----------------------------------
  1 1/2 c  Finely chopped cooked
           - chicken or turkey
    1/2 c  Finely chopped onion
    1/4 c  Minced parsley (optional)
    1/4 ts Ground thyme
    1/4 ts garlic salt
    1/2 c  Finely chopped celery
      1 c  Grated cheddar cheese, med.
    1/4 c  Dry white wine - or gravy
           Salt and pepper to taste

-----------------------------------SAUCE-----------------------------------
    1/2 c  butter
    1/2 c  flour
      3 c  chicken broth - I use
           - homemade gravy instead
      1 c  Milk
      2 c  Grated Cheddar Cheese
    1/4 ts Tobasco
           Salt and pepper to taste
 
  In bowl, combine filling ingredients; salt and pepper to taste
  
  In Saucepan, melt butter, add flour.  Stir in broth and milk; cook until
  thickened, stirring frequently.  Add remaining ingredients.
  
  Fill Stuff-a-roni.
  
  Cover bottom of 2 quart baking dish with 1 cup cheese sauce.  Arrange
  filled stuff-a-roni in single layer in baking dish.  Cover with remaining
  sauce.
  
  Cover dish with foil and bake at 375-degrees F., for one hour; or cover
  dish with waxed paper and microwave 30 minutes turning once.
  
  Note: I usually make this dish after Thanksgiving.  I freeze left over
  turkey and gravy, and then later, when turkey seems like a treat again, I
  make the Stuff-a-roni.  I do not use the wine; in it's place I use turkey
  gravy, and when it calls for broth, I also use a fair portion of turkey
  gravy.
