What if we told you that you can make this Ultimate Chow Mein in your slow cooker? Yes, that's right! Just sauté up some juicy ground beef, then throw all the traditional veggies and savory sauce ingredients right on in the cooker to meld together for a little while, and boom! You've got yourself carry-out quality without any hassle at all! That's why we named it the Ultimate Chow Mein! Because truly, no other recipe can live up to it!

2 tablespoons soy sauce
egg noodles or rice, cooked and hot, for serving
