Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 pound Fresh green beans
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 10.5 ounces Cream of mushroom soup
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 1.5 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 cup French-fried onions

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish and set it aside.

Step 2

Trim and wash the green beans, then cut them into 2-inch pieces. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, add the green beans, and cook for 3-4 minutes, until tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook for 6-7 minutes, or until the beef is browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease.

Step 5

Season the beef mixture with salt, pepper, and paprika. Stir well to combine.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until smooth.

Step 7

Add the cooked green beans and beef mixture to the bowl. Stir everything together until evenly coated in the creamy sauce.

Step 8

Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish. Spread it out evenly and top with the remaining 0.5 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 9

Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until bubbly and the cheese is melted.

Step 10

Remove the casserole from the oven and sprinkle the French-fried onions evenly on top. Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the onions are golden brown.

Step 11

Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
