INGREDIENTS

• 1 pound ground beef
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 cups potatoes, peeled and sliced
• 2 cups celery, finely chopped
• 3/4 cup carrots, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup green pepper, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
• 1 cup water
• 2 (10.75-ounce) cans condensed cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
• 1 (5-ounce) can chow mein noodles, divided
• 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

DIRECTIONS

• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef, while crumbling it, until it is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain the excess grease and transfer the beef to a large bowl.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8-inch square baking dish.
• In the same skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the potatoes, the celery, the carrots, the green pepper, and the onion to the butter and sauté until they are tender, about 5 minutes. Add the water to the veggie mixture, cover, and simmer until the veggies are very tender, about 10 minutes. Stir the cream of mushroom soup and the cooked ground beef into the veggie mixture.
• Sprinkle 1/2 of the chow mein noodles on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Evenly spoon the ground beef mixture over the chow mein noodles. Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Carefully top the casserole with the cheese and the remaining chow mein noodles. Bake the casserole, uncovered, until it is heated through, about 4 minutes.
