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