Chicken (or Tuna) & Rice Casserole

One of our childhood favorites. 

1 (12 oz.) can chicken or tuna, drained

1 small onion, chopped

1 c. chopped celery (or green pepper)

1 can cream of chicken soup

1 c. grated cheese (I usually use cheddar)

1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 c. mayonnaise  

2 Tbs. lemon juice

3 hard-boiled eggs, chopped

2 c. cooked rice

Gently mix all ingredients together in large bowl. Spoon into a casserole dish and bake for 30 minutes at 350. Top with slivered almonds (optional)
