ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup cooked white rice
1 can (10 ounce size) cream of chicken soup
1 can (10 ounce size) cream of mushroom soup (or cream of celery)
1 1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning (optional)
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic (optional)
1 small can chow mein noodles

directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and onion and cook, stirring, until the meat is no longer pink and the onion is soft. Drain off any excess fat.

Stir the rice, soups, water, soy sauce, salt, pepper, poultry seasoning, and garlic into the meat mixture. Mix well, reduce the heat to medium, and let simmer for 15 minutes or until heated through.

Place 3/4ths of the chow mein noodles even in the bottom of a casserole dish. Spread the meat-soup mixture over the top. Sprinkle the remaining chow mein noodles over the top of the meat.

Place the chow mein noodle casserole in the oven and bake, uncovered at 350 degrees F for 25-30 minutes or until bubbly in the middle. Serve hot.

I love this quick, go-to recipe. Not exactly cuisine, but sometimes you just need chow. Probably no need to add the poultry seasoning or additional salt. The canned soups contain enough sodium that you won't miss those seasonings. Just right!
