Fall is on it's way and that's when comfort foods like this one come to mind. Today it's cloudy and dreary so a perfect time to cook this meal for supper.
It is also a great dish to make for company, once it's assembled you stick it in the oven and you have time to set a nice table.
- 1 pound ground beef, lean
- 2 large stalks of celery, chopped
- 1/2 cup green pepper, chopped
- 1 onion, chopped (this is really good without the onion:)
- 1/2 cup rice, uncooked
- 1 1/4 cups boiling water
- 1 can cream of chicken or mushroom soup
- 1/2 cup mushrooms, chopped
- 1/4 cup water chestnuts, drained and chopped
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 1/2 cups chow mein noodles
- In a skillet over medium high heat, cook ground beef, celery, green pepper, and onion (if you choose to use it) until ground beef is lightly browned. Drain excess grease.
- Add the rest of the ingredients except for the chow mein noodles.
- Pour into greased 9" x 13" pan.
- Cover with foil and bake in a 350ยบ oven for 60 minutes.
- Stir in half of the chow mein noodles and sprinkle the other half over top.
- Serve immediately.
Not to get off topic but I had to let you know I made Judy's No-Can Bread & Butter Pickles today and they are great. I put them in a big old glass dill pickle jar and keep going to the fridge to look at them. I snuck one after they cooled and you can eat them just like that. I will try the Oven Chow Mein too, because I hogged the post!

ReplyDeleteThis looks good--I'm going to put it on my list of meals for next week.
DeleteMade this--it was delicious, thanks!
ReplyDeleteI made half the recipe and hubby and I will get at least three meals out of it. I make my own soup base and used half, but added the other half after the first meal since it was a bit dry. This is very tasty and easy to make. Thanks for the post, as well as all the others; we love your recipes.

ReplyDeleteHello Betty! I wanted you to know I have made this so many times and it is delicious - really good flavor. I go a little crazy with extra vegetables and leave out the chow mein noodles. You may need to make this a flashback Friday recipe so other people can enjoy it. :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy you enjoyed this dish. I'll have to make it again soon.
