Chinese Casserole

This recipe comes from my mother. Whenever we have this dinner, it always reminds us of Grandma Pat.
At my bridal shower, they gave recipe cards to everyone in the invitations and this was the recipe she shared with me.

Mix in a casserole:
1 cup rice, uncooked ( not minute)
2  cups warm water
2 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
1 can Cream of Mushroom Soup
1 can Cream of Chicken Soup
** (you can just use 2 cans of Cream of Chicken Soup if you don't like mushroom soup)
Brown 1 pound hamburger with 1 small minced onion and add to casserole

Cook covered for 30 minutes then uncovered for 30 minutes at 350°.
Serve over Chinese noodles and soy sauce.
Mom says good served with tossed green salad, green vegetable and french bread.
