I understand this loose meat burger will not be everyone's thing, but we like these at our house. Since most of my old stuff is gone, I thought I would share this old photo recipe post again.

Chow Mein burgers use ground beef, Chop Suey vegetables and Chow Mein noodles to provide an interesting Chinese taste in a loose meat sandwich



Need:

Ground beef - about a pound and a half of the five pounds shown here



Chop Suey vegetables, soy sauce, cornstarch, water



Chow Mein noodles



And hamburger buns (not shown)

Directions

Brown off the ground beef (I used ground beef I had cooked for storage in the freezer and later use, so it had a little onion cooked with the ground beef)



and add the vegetables





Mix everything together, add 3 Tablespoons of soy sauce, 1/2 cup of water and 1 1/2 Tablespoons of cornstarch, then cook until water is gone and the mixture has dried somewhat, thickened by the cornstarch





Add a healthy portion of the loose meat to a burger bun



top with the Chow Mein noodles



Then the top of the bun



This is also pretty good, served over rice



Thanks for looking at my post

All my stuff

I like loose meat burgers, just never thought about going the chow mein route.

I usually just brown and drain the meat and put it on burger/hot dog buns.

This looks good MD!

This should go in the TD Cookbook as "Sroppy Joe"
