Recipe

Cook and stir meat, celery and onion until meat is cooked, then drain. Pour water on rice in a 2 QT casserole dish. Stir in meat, broth, mushrooms, noodles and sugar sub.
Cook(covered) in oven for 30 mins at 350F; stir. Cook (UNcovered) for 30 mins or longer, if necessary, serve immediately.

Note: water chestnuts and/or bamboo shoots may be added if you wish (anyone know what these count as? My guess is carb A..not sure though)

2 tbs Sodium Free Beef Bouillon powder/granules
2 tbs Red Wine Vinegar
2 tbs of brown sugar Twin
1 tsp Ground Ginger
ds Black Pepper

This is also really good on rice.
