THROW BACK THURSDAY - Doug's Hamburger Casserole

WELCOME NEW FOLLOWERS... PAULA and...SARAH WILLIAMS-THOMAS!! Glad to have you here.

This was Doug's request for a throw back recipe. I got this from my mother in law when I was newly married. Doug used to pick this for his birthday dinner before we were married. (He still picks it some years.) (I will post Doug's ice cream birthday dessert in June (Father's Day).)

Doug's Hamburger Casserole (feel free to re-name it:)

from Susanna Johnson

1 lb. cooked ground beef

chopped onion - cooked with beef (to taste)

2 cans cream of mushroom soup

1 bag of Chow Mein noodles - 1/2 in casserole and 1/2 for the last step

2 cups COOKED rice

1 cup warm water

1 table. soy sauce

1/4 tea. pepper

Mix everything together (Only 1/2 of Chow Mein noodle bag) and put in sprayed oven dish (with cover). Cover and bake at 350* for 30 mins.

Put the last 1/2 of Chow Mein noodles on top and bake uncovered for additional 30 mins. at 350* ( Same temp.) .

The noodles on top are nice and crunchy so I won't try this in the crock pot or microwave. Because I will be cooking this for an hour, I will also make some bread. Or you could make cookies.

(Spellcheck tried to make me spell "MEIN" as Mien. I was smarter:)
