Recipe Summary Family Casserole

This recipe has been handed down in my family. Now it is handed to me. It is a wonderful casserole. Has a wonderful mix of ingredients. The tradition is to add an ingredient as it is handed. I have added the canned mushrooms. This freezes wonderfully. Just mix, freeze, and when ready to serve, remove and bake. Lovely!

¼ cup butter or margarine

1 onion, chopped

2 stalks celery, chopped

1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of celery soup

¼ cup chicken broth

1 (16 ounce) package frozen chopped broccoli, thawed

1 (5 ounce) can water chestnuts, drained and sliced

2 cups cooked rice

2 cups cooked, cubed chicken meat

1 (4 ounce) can sliced mushrooms, drained

salt to taste

½ teaspoon garlic powder, or to taste

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute the onion and celery until tender. Stir in the condensed soup and chicken broth. Add the broccoli, water chestnuts, rice, chicken, and mushrooms. Cook and stir briefly. Season with salt and garlic powder. Mix in Cheddar cheese, and pour the mixture into a 9x13 inch baking dish.

Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until heated through and bubbly.

Use your favorite cream soup in place of the cream of celery, if you prefer.
