How to Make Ground Beef Chow Mein Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large skillet, brown 1 lb ground beef over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Add 1 cup chopped celery and 1/2 cup chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Grease a 2-quart casserole dish.
  5. In the casserole dish, combine 1 cup uncooked long-grain rice and 1 3/4 cups water. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1/4 cup margarine, and 1 cup sliced mushrooms.
  7. Pour the soup mixture over the rice in the casserole dish. Stir in the cooked ground beef and vegetable mixture.
  8. Cover the casserole and bake for 30 minutes.
  9. Remove the casserole from the oven, stir gently, and then bake uncovered for an additional 30 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the top is lightly browned.
  10. Stir in 1 (3 ounce) package chow mein noodles. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
