This has been a long time family and kid friendly favorite for 40 plus years. I never knew what brown gravy sauce was or could I find it so have always used molasses. The recipe also works well on a camping menu. I have made this many, many times on a Coleman stove. Prep time is approximate. ENJOY..!! :)
Ingredients:
1 lb hamburger
1 medium onion, diced
2 teaspoons salt
1 dash pepper (to taste)
2 cups celery, diced
1 1/2 cups water
2 (14 ounce) cans bean sprouts, drained
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon beef gravy or 1 tablespoon molasses
Directions:
1. Saute meat and onion in a small amount of butter or vegetable oil until meat is brown and no longer pink.
2. Add salt, pepper, celery and water; cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Add bean sprouts.
3. Blend cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water and add soy sauce, sugar and brown gravy sauce.
4. Stir into meat mixture and heat until thickened.
5. Serve over Chow Mein Noodles.
6. VARIATION: Omit hamburger and use leftover pork roast cut into bite size pieces along with leftover gravy. Canned sliced water chestnuts and/or a can of baby corn is a lovely addition as well.
7. NOTE: This may also be served over linguine instead of Chow Mein Noodles as in Lo Mein.
