boyfriend loved this. I added cream of mushroom, and water chestnuts along with minced garlic and a can of mushroom pieces and stems, like my mom made it. She called it Mock Chow Mein.

This was a good tasty meal in one dish. It reminded me of those canned chow mein dinners we grew up on, only I liked this much better. It just needed some garlic, ginger, and more veggies like bamboo shoots, bean sprouts, and water chestnuts to make this top notch. I doubled the rice and cut the onion in half. I added a little garlic to the meat as it cooked. I didn't really measure out the chow mein noodles, just covered the top with them. We will definitely fix this again.

I tried this tonight with leftover turkey instead of hamburger. Instead of regular rice, I made a package of Uncle Ben's wild rice (mushroom flavor) according to the package directions and added it. I also added water chestnuts. It was great!

New version of my grandmother's old comfort food recipe. My 3 & 5 year olds both liked = success!

This has been a go to quick and cheap meal in my family for ages. Over the years I have changed the recipe and added a packet of onion soup mix, 2 teaspoons of granulated garlic, 1 bunch chopped green onions and 1 can of sliced water chestnuts

Such yummy comfort food. I used the chicken soup and added a can of water chestnuts, and also briwn rice instead of white. A bit healthier and still very tasty.
