Hamburger Chow Mein

• 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

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.
