Directions
Step 1 -Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Step 2 -Spray a 2-1/2- to 3-quart casserole dish with cooking spray and set aside.

Step 4 -Melt 1/3 cup butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 5 -Add the onion, carrot, and celery, sautéing until the vegetables are soft, about 10 minutes.
Step 6 -Add the flour to the vegetable mixture and stir until the vegetables are covered, for about 1 minute.
Step 7 -Reduce the heat to medium and gradually stir in the chicken broth mixture.
Step 8 -Continue cooking the filling over medium heat, stirring regularly, until thick and bubbly, about 5-6 minutes. Make sure the filling does not boil.
