Florence Fix's Rice Hot Dish

Cook the celery in the 3 cups water until partially cooked; do not drain.

In a 3 to 4-quart casserole, combine rice, hamburger, soup, mushrooms and soy sauce.

Add celery and all of the cooking water.

Bake at 350° for about 45 minutes or until rice is cooked. (Dish should be covered while baking.)

If you need, you may add more water during the baking time.

Do not add extra salt, as the soy sauce will take care of the seasoning.

You may pass extra soy sauce at the table if you like.
