Chicken Cordon Bleau Casserole

I'm going to try this someday.  Recipe from Carol Cook.

Dice cooked chicken and ham, add 1 C cheese (cheddar or swiss) and put in bottom of baking dish.  (I used about 3 C ham and 2 cups chicken - use whatever you like more) Then set aside.

Saute 2 TBSP onion in 1/4 cup butter then add 1/3 C flour to make a paste.  Gradually add 2 C milk stirring constantly.  Boil for 1 minute.  Add 1 t dill weed and 1/8 t mustard then pour over meat mixture.

Mix 1 C bread crumbs, 1/4 t dill weed,  2 T butter, and 1/4 cup cheese together.  Then put on top of dish.  Bake uncovered for 30 minutes at 350. 

Hope this makes sense - let me know if something is confusing :) I thought it had a little to much onion so you might want to change according to what your family likes. I questioned the dill but it added ALOT and I am glad I put it is!!!"

Mmmm! My favorite pumpkin recipe--it's really easy too. Serve with COOL WHIP!

Bottom Layer:
1 pkg yellow cake mix (reserve 1 C for topping).
1/2 C melted butter
1 egg

Filling:
1 can pumpkin pie mix
2 eggs
2/3 C milk

Topping:
1 C reserved cake mix
1 t cinnamon
1/4 C sugar
1/4 C butter

Grease bottom of 9 x 13 pan. Combine ingredients for bottom. Press into pan. Prepare filling by combining ingredients and pouring over bottom layer. Mix topping as you would pie crust--cut soft butter into mix, sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle topping over top. Bake at 350 for 55 to 60 minutes.
