Crockpot Chicken Cordon Bleu

2 eggs ($0.50)
2 cups milk ($0.50)
2 tbsp melted butter ($0.50)
1/2 cup diced celery ($0.25)
1 tbsp chopped onion ($0.25)
8 sliced cubed bread (preferably those bread ends you keep in the freezer for just this purpose) ($0.75)
12 thin slices deli ham, rolled ($1.50)
2 cups shredded swiss cheese ($2.99)
2 cups cooked chicken breast, trimmed and diced ($2.00)
1 can cream of chicken soup ($0.75)

Beat eggs and 1 1/2 cups milk in a large bowl. Add butter, celery, and onion. Stir in bread cubes. Mix soup and 1/2 cup milk in separate bowl, set aside. Put half of bread mixture into greased crockpot. Top with half of chicken, cheese, and ham, then half of soup mixture. Repeat layers.

Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours, until thermometer inserted into bread layer reaches 160 degrees. Serve with a salad and some fruit cocktail. Tastes much more decadent than it costs!

6 servings @ $1.67/serving.
