NADINE NEWMAN’s Chicken Casserole – Conway, Missouri

This is a recipe that came from my aunt, Laura McGrew.  She got it from Eva Newman, who got it from Nadine Newman.  Laura was my mother’s oldest sister, and the Newmans were cousins on my father’s side of the family, all in and around Conway and Marshfield, Missouri.  One of these days we are actually going to put a family recipe book together.
