chicken stew casserole

I love recycling leftovers. Good food shouldn't go to waste, but I also don't want to eat the same thing over and over. If I change it a bit, it's an entirely new meal. 

Roux-based sauces often separate and get watery when baked. The bread helps to counteract that by absorbing the liquid.
