Mom always made this for us when we were growing up. I can still remember it now. In fact, I was so excited when someone from church made this casserole for us after The Bun was born. It brought back such good memories of home for this overwhelmed Mama. I always despised the water chestnuts in it while I was growing up, but found myself enjoying the crunch when we had it last year. The difference was having whole chestnuts growing up and having them chopped later. I was having some company over after church one Sunday and this is what I served. Along with the Pecan Pie and Fancy Salad. I'm going to give the whole recipe, but of course, omit things you don't prefer.
Chicken, Green Bean and Rice Casserole
3 c. cooked and diced chicken
1 onion, diced and sauteed
2 (14.5 oz.) cans French green beans, drained
1 can cream of celery soup
1 c. mayo
1 (6 oz.) box long grain and wild rice, cooked according to package directions
1 c. grated cheddar cheese
1 (8 oz.) can water chestnuts, drained and chopped (optional)
1 (4 oz.) can pimentos, drained (optional)
1 can french fried onion rings (optional)
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Mix all ingredients except onion rings together and pour into 3 quart casserole. Bake for 25 minutes. Add onion rings on top and continue baking until browned.
What really matters?
"Taste and see that the Lord is good. Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in Him." Psalm 34:8
