I’m no master chef, but this dish has been a hit every time!

This Slow Cooker Savory Ground Beef Chow Mein is a delightful twist on the classic Mongolian Beef, perfect for those busy weekdays when you crave something comforting yet easy to prepare. Growing up in the Midwest, chow mein was a staple in our household, but this version swaps out the traditional beef strips for ground beef, making it more budget-friendly and quick to prepare. The slow cooker does all the heavy lifting, allowing you to focus on your day while it infuses the dish with rich, savory flavors. It’s a cozy meal that brings a touch of Asian-inspired cuisine to your dinner table, perfect for sharing with family or friends.
This dish pairs beautifully with a simple side of steamed broccoli or snap peas to add a pop of color and extra nutrition. For a more filling meal, serve it alongside some egg rolls or dumplings. A light cucumber salad with a tangy sesame dressing can also complement the savory flavors of the chow mein, balancing the meal with a refreshing crunch.
