Chinese Hamburger Casserole

Today I am posting a recipe tha I came up with. When I was in my early 20's I got this recipe from my mother, I liked it really well, but lost it. My mother has passed away since then, so I had to experiment until I came up with the right taste. this is called "Chinese Hamburger Casserole". Please try it and let me know what you think.
