Leftover or planned over meat is used in this great casserole. I like it in every form, ham, turkey, chicken, shrimp whatever you like. With a salad and garlic toast you have a complete meal.

  • Step 2
    Stir in flour and cook stirring for 2 minutes (will be very thick). Add chicken stock slowly and whisk until incorporated. Add milk, bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer for 3 or 4 minutes, stirring constantly. Add shredded cheddar along with salt, pepper, hot sauce, parsley, pimento and sherry. Stir in cooked meat or shrimp and cooked spaghetti. Transfer to prepared casserole dish.
  • Step 3
    Top with grated cheese and sprinkle with panko bread crumbs. Bake for 25 minutes or until mixture is bubbling and top is golden.
