Stovetop Beef Chow Mein

This is simple and fast for a tasty weeknight meal - the chow mein noodles give it a nice crunch! :) Not sure where I got the og recipe for this.

Ingredients
1 lb ground beef
1-2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 medium onion, chopped
Crushed red pepper, to taste
Salt & pepper, to taste
1 stalk celery, chopped
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup slivered almonds (those little packets in the baking isle are the right size)
1 cup cooked rice
3 Tablespoons soy sauce
1 cup chow mein noodles, or more if preferred

Directions
Brown ground beef in large skillet with garlic, onion, crushed red pepper, and salt & pepper. Drain and return to skillet. Add celery and saute for a few additional minutes.

In a separate medium bowl, combine the chicken broth, milk, almonds, rice, and soy sauce and mix well. Stir in to beef mixture. Simmer about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Serve in bowls - layer the bottom of bowls lightly with chow mein noodles, add beef mixture to bowl, and top with another layer of chow mein noodles.
