Description
A delightful dish that combines savory flavors and creamy textures, perfect for family dinners or gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 cups fresh or frozen green beans
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup crispy fried onions
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Salt to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Drain any excess fat and set aside.
- If using fresh green beans, wash and trim the ends. Blanch them in boiling water for 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. If using frozen, you can add them directly to the mixture. Drain and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked ground beef, blanched green beans, cream of mushroom soup, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly coated.
- Transfer the mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Top with the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and sprinkle the crispy fried onions over the top.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the casserole in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the fried onions are golden brown.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To reheat, place the casserole in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through.
- You can freeze the casserole before baking for up to 2 months.
