Grace's Chicken Casserole image

This is a real "artery choker," BUT very TASTY! My beloved mom-in-law Grace, made this often on Sundays - kind of a Thanksgiving meal,all-in-one.After she passed, I found this written down everywhere in her recipe files. I think it originated from an Illinois newspaper from the 50's or early 60's - can't be sure.Definitely not a low-fat meal, but for the 3 of us it makes leftovers - great either warmed up,or cold - and I DO NOT make this every week - it's a "treat". And make sure you bake it long enough for the egg mixture to "set." That is key...
