Chicken Hot Dish

 I'm from Minnesota. Hot dish is what we call casseroles. There is a tradition of the basic hot dish: protein (beef, chicken, pork, canned tuna), a drained, canned vegetable, cream of (something) soup and cooked noodles all mixed together in a 9" x 13"pan, and something crunchy to go on top (potato chips, chow mein noodles). Bake until bubbly and you have hot dish!

Here's a more formal recipe for you.

Ingredients

2 cups chopped, cooked chicken
4 cups cooked noodles
1 can of cream of chicken or cream of mushroom soup
1 tbsp chopped onion
4 tbsp butter
2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cup chicken broth
1 1/2 cup milk
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp worchestershire sauce

Instructions

1. Arrange chicken, noodles, soup, and onion in a casserole dish.
2. Make a sauce of the remaining ingredients in a separate pan, cooking over a low heat until smooth and thick.
3. Pour sauce over the chicken mixture.
4. Bake for 1 hour in a 325 - 350 degree oven.
