Recipe Friday - Chicken and Rice Casserole

This is a different spin off of the one I normally make. I made this last week and my family loved it. Even Chloe, who, most of the time, is very hard to please! :)

Chicken and Rice Casserole
2 tablespoons butter or vegetable oil
1 medium onion, peeled and diced
3 cups diced, cooked chicken
2 (14 1/2-ounce) cans green beans, drained and rinsed
1 (8-ounce) can water chestnuts, drained and chopped
1 (4-ounce) jar pimentos (I didn't use these in mine)
1 (10 3/4-ounce) can condensed cream of celery soup
1 cup mayonnaise
1 (6-ounce) box long-grain wild rice, cooked according to package directions
1 cup grated sharp Cheddar
Pinch salt

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Heat butter or oil in a small skillet over medium heat.
Add onion and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and transfer to a large bowl.
Add all remaining ingredients to bowl and mix together until thoroughly combined.
Pour into a greased 3-quart casserole dish.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until bubbly.
Let stand for a few minutes before serving.

Can I steal the phrase from Rachael Ray - - YUM-O!

ENJOY!
