Five Soup Hot Dish

This hot dish is the ultimate pantry meal. Five different soups create layers of creamy, savory flavor, while canned chow mein noodles add crunch on top and throughout. It feeds a crowd and everyone loves it.

Kitchen Tips

• Drain the beef: After browning, pour off excess grease so the casserole doesn’t end up swimming in fat.
• Mix soups thoroughly: Stir all five soups together with the beef until completely combined. Lumpy soup pockets aren’t appetizing.
• Reserve noodles for topping: Folding all the noodles into the mixture makes them soggy. Keep one-third aside to sprinkle on top for guaranteed crunch.

Variations

• Use ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version
• Add frozen mixed vegetables like peas, carrots, or corn with the soups
• Top with shredded cheddar cheese during the last 10 minutes of baking
