1 1/2 lb Lean ground beef
1 cn Chicken gumbo
1    Onion chopped
1 1/8    6 c  Instant rice  (any
Kind)
4    Celery chopped
3 c  Hot water
1 cn C. of mushroom soup
1    Chow Mein Noodles
1 cn C. of celery soup
1    Soy sauce optional

Brown ground beef with onions and celery. Drain really good. Rinse in hot
water to remove extra grease if you like. Put browned meat into really
large casserole or small roaster and add other ingredients up to 3 cups
water. Mix all together good and bake at 350 degrees. Cook about 1 1/2 to 2
hours and stir every now and again to stop the mixture from sticking to the
bottom of the casserole or roaster ( I use a roaster all the time ). When
mixture thickens and rice is soft the casserole is ready to be eaten over
chow mein noodles. The soy sauce acn be added if not salty enough, but it
really doesnt need it.
