Leftover Supreme

There is a grocery store near our house called Hen House and they have these meal deals during the week where you can get dinner for either $10 or $15. I decided to try it out this week, since I haven't been grocery shopping, and
haven't sat down to figure out menus or anything. We went last night and got the meal they have available every day which was a rotisserie chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy, cole slaw and rolls. It was pretty good for $10, with some leftovers to spare.

Tonight for dinner I came up with a clever way to use up the leftover chicken and white gravy. I decided to make a variation of shepherd's pie.

Here is what I did, and it was pretty good!

I shredded up the leftover chicken and mixed it with the leftover white gravy. I sprinkled a little seasoned salt and poultry seasoning to add more flavor.

I chopped up half a large onion and sauteed it in about 1 Tablespoon butter, unti it got a little browned and golden.

I spread the chicken gravy mixture on the bottom of the casserole dish, then topped it with the layer of sauteed onions.

I steamed some frozen peas then layered the peas on top of the onions.

I topped the entire dish with a layer of mashed potatoes, sprinkled with some parmesan cheese, and then shredded cheddar cheese.

I baked uncovered for 30 minutes at 350, until the cheese was melty and it was heated through.



I am not sure it was the healthiest of meals, but it was a tasty way to eat leftovers!
