This is one of my favorite casseroles from many years ago. It originally
came from a Better Homes & Gardens magazine, and is always popular if I
take it to a buffet, potluck, or whatever.

Chicken Noodle Bake

3 cups egg noodles (I don't measure)
1/4 cup butter - divided
1-3/4 cup milk - divided
1/8 cup flour
1/4 tsp. salt
Pepper, to taste
1 can ( or jar) chicken gravy
2 cups cooked chicken, chopped
1 tbsp. diced pimiento

Cook noodles and drain (I cook the chicken first and then boil the
noodles in the chicken broth, as is more flavorful that way). Add 1
tbsp. butter and 1/4 cup milk. Melt remaining butter and blend in the
flour, salt & pepper; add remaining milk. Cook and stir until until
mixture thickens. Stir in chicken, chicken gravy, pimiento and noodles.
Spread in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Bake, covered at 350º for 25
minutes. Combine 1/2 cup fine bread crumbs, 1-1/2 tbsp. melted butter
blend in 1/4 cup shredded cheese. Sprinkle around edges of casserole,
and bake, uncovered 10 minutes more.
