Ingredients
  

For the Casserole
  • 1 lb Ground Beef (80/20 Blend) can swap for ground turkey or chicken
  • 2 cups Green Beans well-drained if using frozen
  • 1 medium Onion (Diced – Yellow or White) can use shallots for milder flavor
  • 8 oz Mushrooms (Sliced Button or Baby Bella) cremini or portobello as substitutes
  • 2 cloves Minced Garlic fresh is ideal, but garlic powder (1 tsp) can work
  • 1 cup Beef or Chicken Broth (Low-Sodium) can swap for vegetable broth for vegetarian option
For the Creamy Sauce
  • 1 cup Sour Cream Greek yogurt can be used as an alternative
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese can use alternative soft cheeses like mascarpone
  • 1 tsp Sea Salt adjust to taste
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper adjust to taste
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce coconut aminos or gluten-free tamari as gluten-free option
  • 1 tsp Dried Thyme fresh thyme can be substituted at three times the amount
  • 1 cup Colby Jack Cheese (Shredded) can reduce amount or use sharp cheddar

Equipment

  • large cast-iron skillet

Method
 

Steps
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Add the cooked ground beef back, followed by salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and dried thyme. Stir gently to combine.
  6. 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.
  7. Serve hot and enjoy!
