Instructions: Melt the butter in a sauce pan, add flour, stir until thick, add cream to make a sauce. Add cream cheese, pimento and chicken soup. Warm. Add cooked macaroni and chicken. Add sliced mushrooms if desired. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bake at 350 deg for 35 to 40 minutes. (you can make it ahead and bake the morning you are going, or freeze it for another day)

I take this in an insulated Pyrex Portables made for just such occasions, but this also travels very well in a crock pot. Heat on High for about an hour until hot - the crock will keep it warm for quite some time, and most picnic shelters will have a plug in. You might want to try and remember to bring an extension cord.
