Ingredients

  • 1 lb lean (at least 80%) ground beef
  • 2 cups thinly sliced celery (3 1/2 medium stalks)
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, coarsely chopped (1 cup)
  • 1 can (8 oz) sliced water chestnuts, drained
  • 1 bottle (12 oz) teriyaki baste and glaze
  • 2 cups coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots)
  • 3 cups chow mein noodles

Steps

  • 1
    In 12-inch nonstick skillet, cook beef over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until beef is cooked through and no pink remains. Stir in celery and bell pepper. Cook 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until vegetables are crisp-tender; drain.
  • 2
    Stir water chestnuts and teriyaki glaze into beef mixture. Cook about 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until hot and bubbly. Remove from heat.
  • 3
    Stir in coleslaw mix. Serve over noodles.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    The fat from the ground beef is just enough to cook the vegetables evenly. That’s why it’s drained off after the vegetables are cooked.
  • tip 2
    Add an Asian flair with hot cooked rice and a salad of sliced kiwifruit and chunks of fresh pineapple.
