- My son-in-law calls this "Camp Food". I think it reminds him of something
- you'd get at summer camp. (Is this a compliment?)
-
-
- 1 1/2 C cubed (cooked) chicken
- 1 can peas (drained)
- 1 can baby (or sliced) carrots (drained)
- 1 can or jar baby onions (drained)
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup milk
- 2 TBSP margarine
- 2 TBSP flour
- S & P to taste
- 1 pkg. refrigerator biscuits
-
- Preheat the oven to the temperature specified on the biscuit package.
-
- Using a good sized saucepan, make a roux of the margarine & flour. Add milk
- & broth slowly, stirring constantly (this will thicken somewhat). Add the
- rest of the ingredients and heat until the sauce is bubbling.
-
- Pour this whole mess into a casserole dish. Put it into the oven until the
- sauce is once again bubbling over the *entire surface*. (This is necessary
- to keep the biscuits from becoming soggy.)
-
- When the surface of the casserole is bubbling, quickly place the biscuits
- on top and bake for the amount of time specified on the biscuit package.
-
- To adjust this for ground beef (or ground turkey); stir-brown the meat
- first and instead of using the roux/broth/milk mixture just use a couple of
- cups of packaged brown or onion gravy mix prepared according to package
- directions.
-
- I know this is enough to give some of you gourmet cooks a heart attack but
- it's a good recipe for po' folks and/or students and/or non-chefs and it
- freezes (without the biscuits) great!
