Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Break it into small crumbles with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Once fully cooked, drain any excess grease.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the soy sauce, cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, and chicken broth. Mix well until smooth and combined.

Step 5

Add the chopped celery, diced green bell pepper, and drained bean sprouts to the mixture. Stir until evenly incorporated.

Step 6

Season the mixture with black pepper and salt. Adjust seasoning to taste if needed.

Step 7

Transfer the mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 8

Sprinkle the chow mein noodles evenly over the top of the mixture to form a crispy topping.

Step 9

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes or until bubbly and the noodles are crispy and golden brown.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the hotdish rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 11

Optional: Garnish with sliced green onions for added freshness and flavor.
