this is my mom's recipe which i think she either got from her sister or her mother. this has been at our family's christmas brunch every yr for as long as i can remember and i look forward to it every year. it has always been popular and there are barely any leftovers. Read more . last year (2011), i made it for the first time and my mom loved it more than when she used to make it! i made a mistake and it turned out really great!
Ingredients:
i'm going to use the tweaked recipe that my mom has used and then i used. so it is not the original...
***double the recipe
use boxed long gran wild rice with herbs
i used one pound ground beef (don't double)
then i used one pound ground italian sausage (don't double)
1 green pepper
2 c. chopped celery
1 onion, chopped
1 carrot, shredded
1 c, bean sprouts & liquid
1 c mushrooms and liquid
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp worcester sauce
water chestnuts
Directions:
1. drain and brown ground beef and sausage v well to keep grease level down.
2. i cook in slow cooker. i start it as soon as i get up in the morning which is around 3:00- 4:00 AM on Christmas so i can get everything done by 10ish.
3. **my mom has always used the crockpot and i did too. but you can bake it 375 degrees for one hour in a buttered baking dish and add water if necessary.
4. ***original recipe calls for 1 lb. chop suey meat and 1/2 veal. also to soak wilde rice overnight if you're not using instant. i've never had it this way...
