I grew up on this and it has always been one of my favorites. The recipe was given to me by my Grandmother. The only differences are that my recipe calls for 2 cups and 2 medium chopped onions and and a 8 oz. can of mushrooms. I actually have this in the oven now.

If you are in a hurry this is a great tasting and easy to assemble<br/>recipe. My family loved it and I will be making it again! Thanks<br/>for sharing! : )

This was surprisingly good considering how few ingredients and steps involved. Used the food processor to grate the onion, and added frozen green beans to get some veg in. My own mistake in forgetting to cover this while baking, so the top was a bit dry. I could have stirred it, but didn't think of it. I'll be making this again at my husband's request, so that makes it a keeper. Thanks for sharing a quick, tasty recipe!

This was a real easy meal that had my 5 year old asking for more!! I did make some changes....1 I used cream of chicken (all on hand), 2 used beef broth rather than water, and 3 only had 1TBS soy sauce so I added a mccormick beef stew mix. All in all it was very flavorful and was easy to put together and clean up. Thnx 4 posting

The flavor of this dish is wonderful. I sauted 8 oz sliced fresh mushrooms along with the onion/celery. I also added 8 oz. fresh bean sprouts to make it more Chinese. I brought the liquid up to the boil, to cut down on the oven time. Delish
