Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 medium Yellow onion, chopped
- 1 cup Celery, diced
- 1 can Cream of mushroom soup
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 cup Water
- 1 can (14 ounces) Canned bean sprouts, drained
- 1 can (8 ounces) Canned bamboo shoots, drained

- 0.25 teaspoon Pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned, breaking it up into crumbles as it cooks. Drain any excess grease.
Step 3
Add the chopped onion and diced celery to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables begin to soften.
Step 4
Stir in the cream of mushroom soup, soy sauce, water, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
Step 5
Add the drained bean sprouts and bamboo shoots to the mixture. Gently fold them in to avoid breaking the vegetables.
Step 6
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked mixture from the skillet with 1 cup of chow mein noodles.
Step 7
Transfer the mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Step 8
Top the casserole with the remaining 1 cup of chow mein noodles for a crunchy topping.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling and the noodles on top are golden brown.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving.
