Not the best casserole ever but a great way to use up leftovers, especially if you can make a little more than you need as leftover of this can then be blitzed into a soup with extra stock added

On Boxing day I made the base sauce (step 1) exactly to the recipe, we usually love honey and mustard flavours. Before adding anything else I tasted the sauce, asked my OH to taste as well, we both pulled a face so I threw it out and made a turkey pie instead!

Have used this recipe to use up my chicken from the Lemon Thyme Butter Basted Chicken recipe here. Works extremely well with this. Replaced sage with thyme, took out the apple and added a dash of lemon juice but otherwise followed the recipe. Super quick and easy to do

Very easy one you can knock together after work one night. I added left over stuffing as one person suggested and was really pleased with the result.
