1 package (2 3/4 oz) instant simmer-and-serve wild rice
6 tablespoons butter or margarine
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 package (8 oz) sliced fresh mushrooms (about 3 cups)
1/2 cup sliced leek
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
2 tablespoons Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
4 oz Gruyère cheese, shredded (1 cup)
3 cups shredded cooked chicken

I've made this casserole several times and it's always a success. It's a great way to use up leftover chicken and rice. I also like to add some chopped vegetables to the casserole, such as carrots, celery, or onions.
