Chow Mein Skillet
Chow Mein Skillet is a one-pot meal topped with a delightful crunch! This beef and peppers main dish is covered with traditional Chinese noodles for a new and exciting weeknight dinner.
I love easy recipes that can be completely cooked in one pot. Less dishes are a bonus because I make such a mess in the kitchen when I’m preparing a recipe. The less complicated it is, the better. I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to spend hours in the kitchen slaving over a complex recipe. I want to throw it all into a pan and call it a day!
This simple Chow Mein Skillet is super easy to whip up and reminds me of Grandma’s home cooking. My Grandma June and her boyfriend were beef farmers, so ground beef was pretty much a staple at every meal. It’s got a mixture of ingredients that work together to create a comforting, home-cooked meal.
I love the addition of chow mein noodles because they add an extra crunch of texture. If you aren’t a fan, just leave them out and the recipe will still taste yummy.

How to Make Chow Mein Skillet
- Step One: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add ground beef and stir to crumble. Once cooked, add celery, onions and green pepper and cook until softened.
- Step Two: Stir in cream of mushroom soup, chicken noodle soup and soy sauce. Cook until heated through.
- Step Three: Top with chow mein noodles and serve hot.
You could also change up the soups in the recipe. Maybe try cream of chicken or cream of potato? Use whatever you have in your pantry as it won’t make that much of a difference!
If you wanted you could serve it over some rice. I usually just toss it into a bowl for everyone to it on it’s own. Not a fan of ground beef? Try ground turkey or chicken.
If you try this recipe, let me know how it turned out for you. I hope your family enjoys it as much as mine did.

One pot easy meals are the best, thanks for sharing your recipe it sounds delicious. I don’t believe that I’ve ever eaten Chow Mein, that’s probably because I’m a big fan of sweet and sour so that’s usually what I order in a restaurant.
