Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 3 ounces cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tsp Bragg’s Aminos (or soy sauce)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 2 cans green beans, drained
  • 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cook the Ground Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef. Drain any excess grease using a strainer.
  3. Make the Sauce: Add the softened cream cheese to the skillet with the beef. Stir until melted and smooth. Pour in the beef broth, heavy cream, Bragg’s Aminos (or soy sauce), garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
  4. Thicken the Sauce: Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer until the sauce thickens slightly.
  5. Add Green Beans: Stir in the drained green beans until evenly coated with the sauce.
  6. Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese on top.
  7. Bake: Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Rest and Serve: Let the casserole sit for 5 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Notes

  • Storage: Let the casserole cool completely before storing in an airtight container. It will stay fresh in the fridge for 3-4 days.
  • Freezing: Wrap the cooled casserole in plastic wrap and foil. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
  • Reheating: Reheat in a 325°F oven for 30 minutes or microwave individual servings in 30-second intervals, stirring between.
