Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 3
Add diced onion, minced garlic, and chopped celery to the skillet. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.
Step 4
Stir in soy sauce, black pepper, and salt to season the beef mixture. Mix well.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to low and fold in the cream of mushroom soup, sliced water chestnuts, bean sprouts, and mushrooms. Stir until everything is evenly combined.
Step 6
Transfer the beef and vegetable mixture into a greased 9x13-inch casserole dish. Spread it out evenly.
Step 7
Top the mixture with chow mein noodles, spreading them evenly across the top.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling and the noodles are toasted and crisp.
Step 9
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it sit for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 10
Garnish with sliced green onions for a fresh, colorful finish.
