Easy Peasy supper tonight
Toasted Tomato and Bacon Sandwiches on Rye with Cream of Tomato Soup and a small tossed salad with Coleslaw dressing. My new/old favourite. Soooo many ideas with Bacon and with the family spotting all the boxes stuffed in the freezer they keep asking for it. LOL. I usually only have Bacon on Sundays so this is a treat for them.

It makes its own sauce - bonus!

Adapted from Company's Coming Casseroles recipe book

Chinese Hekka
--------------
1 pound ground beef (I've also used ground pork, but beef is better)
1 cup chopped onion
Brown both in a bit of oil, drain off fat.

2 cups shredded cabbage
2 cups shredded carrots
2 cups sliced celery
1/4 cup soy sauce
Few shakes of garlic powder, or several cloves of garlic minced
1/2 cup water (if I add a can of mushrooms, I don't drain them, just throw the can contents in, and omit adding extra water)
Sliced water chestnuts are good to add, too.
I like to add slivered almonds or peanuts (they soften) to the casserole, too.

Combine veggies mix and meat mix in 2L casserole or roaster. Cover. Bake at 350 degrees for one hour.
Check 3/4 of the way through cooking, mix and see if you need to add extra liquid.

If you want a thicker sauce, can add a bit of a cornstarch and water mixture near the end of cooking.
Serve over rice.
-----
In place of shredding cabbage and carrots, I have used the bagged tricolour coleslaw mix, and it's fine.
