Default Chicken casserole

I was craving chicken soup but our temps. have been around 60 degrees so not
really cold enough for soup. For me anyway. I decided to make a casserole.

I used Sam's Choice Boxed Bone Broth (chicken).

Started with a large white onion, three carrots, and the middle of a stalk
of celery (including leaves). Caramelized those in a bit of olive oil, then
covered with broth and cooked till soft.

I put those in a casserole dish along with a can of chicken. Can't remember
what it's called now as they keep changing the name but the Sam's brand.
Just water and chicken. Also a can of peas (drained).

Cooked two cups of cheap, white, long grain rice in whatever broth was left
in the pan plus enough water to make 2 cups of liquid.

I then made a sauce using 1/4 cup butter and enough sweet rice flout to make
a nice thick paste, then thinned it down slowly, cooking and stirring until
I had a sauce. The sauce was on the thin side. I had intended to add milk
but since it was so thin, I added some medium cheddar cheese, shredded.

Seasonings (added to each step along the way and to taste) were a little
garlic, salt, pepper and parsley. Mixed it all together, added a bit more
cheese on top and baked.

There is quite a bit! I won't have to cook for a few days. It's very good!
And Bruce should like the ingredients!
