Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) degrees.
  • Grab a cast-iron skillet (a sturdy pan) and cook the ground beef. When it's done, use a strainer to remove any extra grease.
  • Add the cream cheese to the cooked beef in the skillet. Stir it until the cheese melts and mixes with the beef. Yum!
  • Pour in the beef broth, heavy whipping cream, Bragg's Aminos, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir everything together well.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil by turning up the heat a bit. Keep an eye on it and let it cook on medium heat until it starts to thicken up a little. This will make the casserole nice and creamy.
  • Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer. That means keeping it gently bubbling but not boiling too hard.
  • Great job! The ground beef mixture is thick and ready. Now, it's time to add those green beans! Open the cans and drain the water from them. Place the green beans on top of the beef mixture in the skillet.
  • Sprinkle some cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese on top of the green beans. This will make the casserole extra cheesy and delicious!
  • Finally, pop the skillet into the preheated oven and bake it all together for 25 minutes. It will come out golden and bubbly.
