----------------------------------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. SHARED by Cate Vanicek
