Beef Chow Mein Casserole

I can remember my mom making Chow Mein growing up and all of us kids picking at it because we didn't really care for it. We really didn't care for any kind of asian-type food. Now, I can't seem to get enough of it. This is a super easy casserole that is great for a busy work week.

We have family in town for the week so I will probably not post any other recipes this week.
