Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb lean ground beef 85/15 recommended
  • 1 medium onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 cans (14.5 oz each) cut green beans drained well
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 1/3 cups french fried onions divided

Equipment

  • 1 9x13 inch Baking Dish
  • 1 Large Skillet

Instructions
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef and chopped onion over medium-high heat until the beef is browned. Drain off excess grease.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  4. Stir in the cream of mushroom soup, milk, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper.
  5. Gently stir in the drained green beans and 2/3 cup of the french fried onions.
  6. Transfer the mixture to a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  7. Top with the shredded cheddar cheese and the remaining 2/3 cup of french fried onions.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the casserole is hot and bubbly. Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Make-Ahead Tip: Assemble the casserole without the cheese and onion topping up to 24 hours in advance. Cover and refrigerate. Add toppings just before baking and add 10-15 minutes to the bake time.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
