Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC).
-
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, chopped onion, and sliced celery. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until beef is browned and vegetables are tender, about 8-10 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
-
In a separate saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, combine frozen mixed vegetables and 3/4 cup water. Cook until vegetables are heated through and tender, about 10 minutes if using a saucepan, or according to microwave instructions. Drain any remaining liquid.
-
In a 2-quart casserole dish, combine the browned beef mixture, cooked vegetables, cream of mushroom soup, soy sauce, cooked rice, salt, and pepper to taste. Stir gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
-
Break chow mein noodles into pieces and sprinkle over the top of the casserole mixture.
-
Cover the casserole dish with a lid or aluminum foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until heated through. Alternatively, microwave on high for 10 minutes, stirring halfway through.
-
Let stand for 5 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
