Brown ground beef, onions, and celery with a little pepper. There is no need to add any salt. After meat is cooked, drain any fat. Add soups, water, and rice to the skillet. Stir everything until well mixed.

Pour into a large casserole dish. Cover and bake at 350 for 45 minutes.

Before serving, top with a generous helping of crunchy chow mein noodles.6-815This is a great, easy, and unique casserole my mom always made for us when we were kids. 1.5 lbs. lean ground beefchopped onion (about a half of a small onion)2-3 pieces chopped celery1 can cream of mushroom soup1 can cream of chicken soup1/2 c uncooked white ricepepper1 3/4 c watercrunchy chow mein noodles (I like the La Choy brand)

Cut chicken into bite size pieces and place in crock pot. Mix water and dry Italian Dressing mix together in separate dish and then pour over chicken in the crock pot. Sprinkle with a little Italian Seasoning (optional). Allow to cook on low for 3 hours or high for 1 1/2 hours. Just until chicken is thoroughly cooked.

When chicken is fully cooked, add cream cheese, soup, and mushrooms. Mix well and allow to cook another hour to fully blend all ingredients.

Just before getting ready to eat, cook one box of bowtie pasta according to package instructions. Drain well but do not rinse. Add it to the crockpot and mix well.

If you like creamier pasta, you might want to put the pasta in a little at a time so you have the balance of pasta and sauce that you prefer.

Mix groundbeef together with your favorite seasonings as if you were making a regular meatloaf. Flatten the groundbeef out with your hands, but make sure it's not to thin as it will break when you roll it.
Place the broccoli and cauliflower (raw) into the center of the meat and roll into a loaf, closing off ends.
You can either place this into a baking bag with the potatoes and carrots (sliced) or use a regular baking pan. I cook it all together in pan, covered with foil for the first 20-25 mins of baking.
When meatloaf is nearly done, place a few slices of cheese over the top and let it melt.

When it's done, you have a delicious and unique meatloaf to serve. Slice into 1-2 inch pieces. Looks great on the plate too!
