Ingredients
1 pound ground beef
1 can (15 oz) green beans, drained
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup milk
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup French fried onions
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until no longer pink, then drain any excess fat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked ground beef, drained green beans, cream of mushroom soup, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, and half of the shredded cheese.
Transfer the mixture into a casserole dish and spread it evenly.
Bake for 25 minutes until the center is hot.
Remove from the oven, top with the remaining cheese and the French fried onions.
Bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until the onions are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Notes
Use sharp cheddar cheese for a deeper, more pungent flavor profile. For a lighter version, replace half of the milk with plain Greek yogurt. This is a pork-free recipe using standard kitchen pantry staples.
