Steps
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook for about 5 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula as it browns. Drain excess fat, reserving 1 tablespoon.
- In the same skillet, add the reserved beef fat and toss in the diced onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent, then add the sliced mushrooms and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
- Stir in the green beans, minced garlic, and low-sodium beef or chicken broth. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the green beans turn bright green and crisp-tender.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low, add the cream cheese and stir until it melts, then mix in the sour cream to create a creamy sauce.
- Add the cooked ground beef back, followed by salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and dried thyme. Stir gently to combine.
- Sprinkle shredded Colby Jack cheese over the mixture and either broil on high for 1-2 minutes or cover and cook on low for 3-4 minutes until melted.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
