Boil in salted water and debone a large stewing hen. (Chicken parts as desired may be used instead of a whole hen.)

Saute in 1/2 stick butter:

1 lg. bell pepper, diced
1 onion, diced

Add:

1 can Rotel tomatoes, mashed with fork
1 can sliced mushrooms, drained
2 lbs. Velveeta cheese, cut in sm. cubes

(This is the large box of Velveeta - other brands which are cheaper may be used).

Cook 1 large package or 2 small vermicelli in chicken broth. Drain, reserving a little of the broth. Mix thoroughly with above. Put in two casseroles (one to eat and one to freeze). Drizzle reserved broth over to keep the casseroles from getting too dry.

Bake at 350 degrees 45 minutes. Crushed potato chops may be put on top before baking if desired.
