Recipe of the Week - Chinese Beef Casserole

 I do love a good casserole, and this recipe fits that bill.  I found this recipe in the 1982 cookbook "A Cook's Tour of the Azalea Coast" that was published by the Auxiliary to the New Hanover, Pender, Brunswick County Medical Society.  I love these kinds of regional cookbooks, and I have collected more than my share over the years.  This particular one belonged to Mom and was most likely a gift from one of our relatives who lived in Wilmington. 


I have only made this casserole once, but I really did enjoy it. Of course, it is not authentic Chinese but because it has been sprouts and soy sauce in it, it is labeled Chinese.  Still, it is a good casserole and like most casseroles, it is better the next day.  Enjoy!

I pound ground beef

2 cups onion, chopped
