1 cup (225 ml) sliced fresh mushrooms
1/2 cup (125 ml) butter
1/2 cup (125 ml) flour
4 cups (950 ml) milk
2 tsp (10 ml) salt
3 cups (700 ml) cooked egg flat noodles (dumpling type or kluski really good in this)
4 cups (950 ml) chopped cooked chicken or turkey
1-1/2 cups (350 ml) shredded cheddar cheese
2 cups (475 ml) frozen peas
2 tbsp (30 ml) instant minced onion
4 tbsp (60 ml) butter-sauteed onions
1 tsp (5 ml) Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp (5 ml) ketchup
dash of Tabasco or red hot chile sauce for a slight flavor enhancement
3 cups (700 ml) buttered soft breadcrumbs, optional

1
Saute mushrooms in butter in a skillet.
2
Stir in the flour.
3
Gradually add milk, stirring until thickened and smooth.

Stir in remaining ingredients.

Put in a buttered 3 1/2 qt.
6
to 4 qt.
7
large casserole dish or a pyrex glass roasting dish.
8
Bake covered at 350 degrees (175 C.) for 30 minutes or until heated through.
9
Hint: Use optional 3 cups (700 ml) of buttered soft bread crumbs on top and bake until browned and bubbling uncovered.
10
Because it is classic to add pimiento to Chicken a la King, everyone does, but I don't like pimiento in it.
11
So, often times for color, I add finely chopped carrots and saute them with the onions.
12
You have to increase the butter by about a tsp or so if you do.
13
Use about a cup or two of carrots, no more, or it will taste too sweet.
