Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium, diced onion
- 1 cup, chopped celery
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 cup water
- 0.75 cup, uncooked long grain white rice
- 1 cup, for topping chow mein noodles
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks. Drain excess fat, if necessary.
Add the diced onion and chopped celery to the skillet with the beef, and sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, soy sauce, and water. Mix well to combine.
Add the uncooked rice to the skillet and stir thoroughly to ensure the rice is evenly distributed and coated with the sauce.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, stirring well.
Transfer the beef and rice mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.
Remove the dish from the oven, uncover, and sprinkle the chow mein noodles evenly over the top.
Return the dish to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the chow mein noodles are golden and crispy.
Let the hot dish rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Mock Chow Mein Hot Dish!
