Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cans (14.5 oz each) green beans, drained

Sauce & Seasoning

  • 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Topping

  • 1 cup French fried onions

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready when your casserole is assembled.
  2. Brown the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, breaking it up as it cooks, until fully browned. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
  3. Sauté Onion and Garlic: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Continue sautéing until the onions are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. This enhances the flavor and aroma of the casserole.
  4. Mix in Remaining Ingredients: Stir in the drained green beans, cream of mushroom soup, milk, cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything well so all the ingredients are evenly combined.
  5. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the mixture into a 9×13 inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
  6. Add Topping: Sprinkle the French fried onions evenly over the top, ensuring full coverage for a crispy, savory finish.
  7. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the onions are golden brown.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes so the flavors can settle before serving.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, swap ground beef for ground turkey or lean ground chicken.
  • Add extra vegetables like mushrooms or bell peppers for even more flavor and nutrition.
  • If you like an extra crunchy topping, add more French fried onions in the last 5 minutes of baking.
  • This casserole can also be made ahead and reheated for convenient meals throughout the week.
