Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and generously grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
- In a large skillet, cook 1 pound of ground beef over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, stirring until browned. Season it with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Drain excess fat, then set aside.
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, add fresh green beans, and blanch for 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together cream of mushroom soup and sour cream until blended. Add cooked ground beef and blanched green beans, stirring gently.
- Pour the beef and green bean mixture into your greased baking dish and spread evenly. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle crispy fried onions over the top. Bake for an additional 5-7 minutes until onions are golden brown.
- Let the casserole rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
