Ingredients

1 loaf French bread, cubed

4 cups cooked white chicken meat, cubed (or combination of ½ chicken and ½ ham)

2 tablespoons butter

8 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced

1 small onion, diced

1 cup sliced celery

1 can sliced water chestnuts, chopped

½ cup mayonnaise

12 Velveeta or American cheese slices (or cheese of your choice – grated is fine, too)

4 eggs beaten

1 cup milk

1 can cream of mushroom soup

1 tablespoon Montreal Chicken seasoning (by McCormick)

Final layer:

2 cups crushed garlic croutons

¼ cup melted butter

Directions

Cover the bottom of a well-buttered 9x13 glass baking dish with bread cubes (using glass will give you a golden, crunchy crust).

Top bread with cubed meat.

Sauté veggies in butter until crisp-tender, then spread them over the meat layer.

Drop spoonfuls of mayonnaise over the veggies, then with the back of the spoon, gently spread the mayonnaise over the top of veggies.

Lay cheese slices (or grated cheese) over mayonnaise layer.

Mix together eggs, milk, soup, seasoning; pour over cheese layer.

Cover dish tightly with saran and foil; refrigerate overnight.

BEFORE BAKING, remove saran and re-cover pan with foil only!

Bake uncovered, at 350 degrees, for 1 hour.

Remove from oven and top with the final layer.

For final layer, top casserole with crushed croutons and drizzle with butter. Bake another 10 to 15 minutes. Allow casserole to set for 10 minutes before cutting into serving pieces.

NOTE: If you would like to serve this with a cheese sauce over the top, see Black Jack Melt for the recipe.

Krum..... this is so delectable...
Could I replace celery with leeks as I am not fond of celery or would it deter from the amazing flavorer? Perhaps you can't taste the celery if so I could leave it in.
Thanks for this...

P.S.
You say cover with saran and foil, I take it that saran is a US product (cling film) so do you leave the saran on under the foil when you bake it?

Doesn't the saran melt?
