Ingredients

2 pounds ground beef
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped celery
2 cans (10-3/4 ounces each) condensed cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
1 can (14 ounces) bean sprouts, undrained
1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 cup uncooked long grain rice
1 can (8 ounces) sliced water chestnuts, drained
2 cups frozen peas, thawed
1 can (5 ounces) chow mein noodles

Directions

In a large skillet, cook the beef, onion and celery over medium heat until meat is no longer pink, breaking it into crumbles; drain. Stir in the soup, bean sprouts, soy sauce and pepper. Bring to a boil. Pour into a greased 13×9-in. or 3-qt. baking dish. Stir in rice and water chestnuts.

Cover and bake at 350° for 30 minutes. Uncover; stir in peas and sprinkle with noodles. Bake until heated through, 15-20 minutes longer.
