Instructions
- Brown the Ground Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Sauté the Aromatics: Add diced onions and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef, cooking until the onions are translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
- Combine the Ingredients: Stir in the green beans and cream of mushroom soup, mixing well to combine everything evenly.
- Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly for even cooking.
- Add the Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese generously over the top of the casserole, ensuring a nice cheesy layer.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the casserole for about 25-30 minutes, or until bubbly and golden on top.
Notes
- Don’t Overcook the Beef: Aim for a perfect brown without overcooking to keep the meat juicy.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh green beans can elevate the dish with a crunchier texture.
- Let it Rest: Allow the casserole to sit for a few minutes after baking; this helps it set and makes serving easier.
- Experiment with Toppings: Consider adding breadcrumbs or crushed crackers on top for added texture.
- Serve it Hot: For the best flavor and texture, serve the casserole immediately after baking.
