Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Set a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground beef, onion, and celery. Break apart the meat as it cooks, and continue cooking until the beef is well browned and the vegetables are tender.
Pour in the can of chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to loosen any cooked-on browned bits, and allow them to incorporate into the liquid.
Stir in the cream of chicken soup, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, and white rice. Once well combined, pour the mixture into a casserole dish.
Cover the casserole dish and place in the oven for 45 minutes. Then uncover, top with chow mein noodles, and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
Remove the hotdish from the oven, let cool briefly, then serve.
