CHINESE CASSEROLE



Chinese Casserole image

I hadn't had this forever and my mother made it tonight. It was missing something. It's supposed to be a Chow Mein style casserole. So I added in a few things (carrots, bamboo, and mushrooms). Sprinkle green onions over the top before serving!

Categories     Casseroles

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb lean gorund beef
1 cup celery, chopped
1 cup carrots, finely chopped
1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 can condensed cream of chicken soup
1 small can of sliced mushrooms or 1/2 cup fresh
1 cup warm water
1 can bean sprouts with liquid
1/2 can bamboo shoots, chopped
3/4 cup rice
1/8 cup soy sauce
1 can chow mein needles

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350°. In a large skillet, brown hamburger. Add celery, onion, carrots, and mushrooms.
  • 2. Mix in soups, water, rice, soy sauce, bamboo shoots and bean sprouts to meat mixture.
  • 3. Pour mixture into 2.5-3 quart casserole dish. (Place dish on cookie sheet, in case is spills over.) Bake for 45 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 30 minutes. Sprinkle with chow mein noodles on top the last 10 minutes.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before cooking, make sure to have all the ingredients measured, prepped, and ready to use. This will help ensure a smooth and efficient cooking process.
  • Choose the right noodles: Egg noodles are commonly used in Chinese casseroles, but you can also use other types of noodles such as ramen noodles, udon noodles, or soba noodles. Select the noodles that best suit your preferences and the type of casserole you are making.
  • Cook the noodles properly: Make sure to cook the noodles according to the package instructions, as overcooked noodles can become mushy and unappetizing. Drain the noodles well before adding them to the casserole.
  • Use fresh vegetables: Fresh vegetables not only taste better but also retain more nutrients compared to frozen or canned vegetables. If using frozen vegetables, thaw them before adding them to the casserole.
  • Don't overcrowd the casserole dish: Make sure to use a casserole dish that is large enough to accommodate all the ingredients comfortably. Overcrowding the dish can result in uneven cooking and a soggy casserole.
  • Don't overcook the casserole: Casseroles are typically cooked in the oven until bubbly and heated through. Overcooking can dry out the casserole and make the noodles tough.

Conclusion:

Chinese casseroles are a versatile and flavorful dish that can be easily customized to your preferences. With a wide variety of ingredients and cooking methods to choose from, you can create a casserole that is sure to please everyone at the table. Whether you prefer a classic chicken casserole, a hearty beef casserole, or a vegetarian casserole, there is a recipe out there to suit your taste. So, gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and get ready to enjoy a delicious and comforting Chinese casserole meal.
