• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Break it into crumbles as it cooks. Drain any excess grease.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and sliced celery to the skillet with the beef. Cook for 3–4 minutes, or until the vegetables are slightly softened.

Step 4

Stir in the cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, soy sauce, and water. Mix until everything is evenly combined and heated through.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the chow mein noodles, water chestnuts, and frozen mixed vegetables. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Step 6

Pour the beef and soup mixture over the noodle mixture and stir well to combine.

Step 7

Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Transfer the mixture into the prepared dish and spread it out into an even layer.

Step 8

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes to allow the top to slightly crisp up.

Step 10

Remove the hot dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
