Million Dollar Chicken Casserole (no Canned Soup)

"This Million Dollar Chicken Casserole skips the canned cream of chicken soup and uses a quick homemade cream sauce instead. Bacon and peas are mixed right in, so it’s a complete dinner with a rich, creamy filling and a buttery Ritz cracker topping. I’m all for a shortcut when it saves time without giving up flavor. But in this casserole, the sauce does too much of the work to rely on a can of cream of chicken soup. So I make a quick cream sauce instead. It's the same reason my taco hotdish skips the canned soup. Five extra minutes for a casserole with much better flavor is a trade-off I'm happy to make!"
