Chow Mein Oven Baked

Fall is on it's way and that's when comfort foods like this one come to mind.
It is also a great dish to make for company, once it's assembled you stick it in the oven and you have time to set a nice table!

• 1 pound ground beef
• 2 large stalks of celery, chopped
• 1/2 cup green pepper, chopped
• 1 onion, chopped (this is really good without the onion:)
• 1/2 cup rice, uncooked
• 1 1/4 cups boiling water
• 1 can cream of chicken or mushroom soup
• 1/2 cup mushrooms, chopped
• 1/4 cup water chestnuts, drained and chopped
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 1/2 cups chow mein noodles

1. In a skillet over medium high heat, cook ground beef, celery, green pepper, and onion (if you choose to use it) until the ground beef is lightly browned. Drain excess grease.
2. Add the rest of the ingredients except for the chow mein noodles.
3. Pour into a greased 9 x 13" pan.
4. Cover with foil and bake in a 350º oven for 60 minutes.
5. Stir in half of the chow mein noodles and sprinkle the other half over the top.
6. Serve immediately.

Autumn Abundance by me Jeanne 



Coolness, crispness and colours galore


Autumn soon once again you will arrive at our door





The Hues, new shoes, school schedules appear once again

Before me all accents of the most autumn kind


Yes we are leaving our summer behind

Crickets casanova, birds spell out a V in flight
Chinese lanterns in our gardens, wind chimes more echoes abound
Birds soon fly south, and oh the taste in my mouth
of our glorious Thanksgiving feasts, a bountiful harvest
Pumpkins, ghourds and Halloween soon
and our Canadian Thanksgiving with pumpkin pie and the ice cream spoon

I'll embrace you autumn and again in silent prayer will say......... 
Thank you God for our beatuiful seasons.......
Thank you God for our reasons to embrace love and joy
and one another.
