Pantry Treasures- Spiralbound Cookbook #5

This cookbook was created by members of St. Joseph's Church in Crosby, Minnesota, in 1980.  NO IDEA where I got it, but I'm guessing an antique store in Minnesota!

Here's the cookbook:

In addition to some GREAT recipes by members of the church, it also contains the standard chapter title pages...

...weights, measures, and substitutions...

...and metric conversions, which was a thing in the early 80's (or at least we THOUGHT it was going to be)...

This cookbook is also "peppered" with poetry.  Here's one from the "Main Dishes" section:

MEAT
Stuff it and roast it, baste it with care,
Carefully then some gravy prepare.
Around your kitchen savory odors will tell,
Whatever is cooking, is doing quite well.

The recipe I've chosen from this cookbook is for CHICKEN LICKEN CASSEROLE.  It's attributed to Linda Leonard.

Chicken Licken Casserole

2 c. medium size noodles
4 c. boiling water
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 c. oleo
1 c. sliced cleery
1/3 c. onion
1/4 c. flour
1 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
1/4 tsp. poultry seasoning
1 c. molk
2 chicken bouillon cubes dissolved in 2 c. hot water
5 slices bacon (diced, fried, drained)
2 c. cut up chicken

Place noodles in water with 1/2 tsp. salt.  Cover, remove from heat, and let stand 12 minutes.  Drain and rinse with cold water.  Melt oleo, and use to saute celery and onion.  Add flour, salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning to sauteed mixture.  Gradually add milk and 2 cups hot bouillon, stirring constantly.  Cook until thickened then add meats and noodles.  Put in 2 quart casserole.  Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.

Enjoy!

NOTE:  It doesn't say it in the recipe, but I'm ASSUMING you cook the noodles before removing them from the heat...
