Weekend Cooking: Oriental Casserole
I know the name of this recipe isn’t politically correct, but my sister got it from her husband’s aunt years ago. It was hard to get a good picture of it, but believe me when I say it tastes better than it looks. The recipe is simple, but I rarely make it in the summer, since it has to bake for so long. You can make the casserole ahead and bake it just before dinner. Add a salad and a vegetable and you’re ready to eat!
1 pound ground beef
1 small onion, chopped
1 cup chopped celery
¼ cup soy sauce
1 can mushroom soup
1 soup can water
½ cup rice
1 small can mushroom stems and pieces
1 can bean sprouts
Brown meat. Mix all other ingredients and bake in a 2 quart casserole dish at 350º for 1½ hours.
Serves 5 to 6.

This looks tasty and simple! I’ll bookmark it. I never have a problem with leaving the oven on for 1 1/2 hours. =)
I find that “it tastes better than it looks” is true of most dishes
No, brown food does not photograph well..
But it does sound easy and yummy.
This sounds like a great recipe. I’ll have to try it out soon.
Yum… I bet you could crock pot it too!
It does look good to me because I know the problem and the appeal of brown food! Perhaps you could rename it “Asian Casserole” ….
That does seem like a long time to cook a casserole. Have you ever tried cooking it less just to see if it tastes the same? Have a great weekend!
I have a hard time with food photography (ok, photography in general), but this sounds really good and I know my family would love it!
Wow! That does sound easy. I bet it is yummy. It also sounds like a great casserole to have on a buffet table. Hummmm, my wheels are turning.
Pictures didn’t show up for me, but it sounds so easy! I’m going to copy the recipe and give it a try.

Another yummy recipe Kathy. I had to pop in to see what you had posted
If there’s rice in the recipe chances are I am going to love it! This one sounds yummy!
My mom made the exact same thing, but always on the stove, in a skillet!
The name of this recipe may be politically incorrect, but it sounds and looks so good. I ‘d probably substitute ground turkey for the beef as I don’t usually eat red meat. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
maybe it’s the ‘northerner’ in me that makes me distrustful of anything ‘casserole’!
i’ve actually tried to make two different casseroles in my lifetime and both have been disasters. i like the ingredients in this one; maybe i’ll have to lift my casserole embargo and try yours!
This sounds like a quick & easy recipe and like a chop suey type meal. Yum!
sounds very tasty. Thanks for sharing.
This looks delicious! Thanks for sharing.
Casseroles are my ultimate comfort food, so I’m always on the lookout for a new version. I’m definitely trying this one!
Thanks for introducing me to this meme, Kathy! I am definitely in. Your recipe sounds good and easy to make. Since we love rice in our family and I am always looking for different ways to cook it, I will have to try it.
I like casseroles that can be made ahead of time and then baked. This one sounds very good and is probably creamy but still crunchy.
Ooh, this sounds good! I may have to make it soon – sounds so easy!
This does sound good! I don’t think I have ever had this, but looking at all the ingredients I know it would be a big hit in our house. Thanks for posting this recipe, I will have to try it!
I’m a big fan of meals I can prep in the morning and let sit in the fridge until it’s time to bake them. I make a chicken divan casserole about every other week in the winter; this looks like a great make-ahead meal to ease the dinner-time rush.
This looks easy to make and yummy! I do like fast and easy recipes a lot of the time.
Yum! Looks like my kind of dish.
Sounds easy and delicious. Thanks for sharing!
