Brown ground beef with onions, celery, and bell pepper. Add rice, mushroom
soup, and chicken gumbo soup (and maybe cream of celery), and a couple cans
of water and bake at $350-357*f until the rice is cooked and most of the
liquid is absorbed.

You can adjust it to make the amount you need; for example: 1 lb ground beef
with 1 med onion, 1 bell pepper and a couple stalks of celery...add 1 cup of
rice, 1 can of each soup and 1 can of water. Increase as needed. Salt and
pepper to taste. It's actually very tasty!
