Ingredients You’ll Need

• 1 lb ground beef

Step-by-Step Instructions

2. Mix the filling – In a large bowl, combine cooked beef, green beans, cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, ½ cup cheese, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir until everything is well coated.

1. Assemble the casserole – Spread the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top.

2. Bake – Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25–30 minutes, until bubbly and hot.

1. Top & serve – Add crispy fried onions on top and bake for an additional 5 minutes. Serve warm.

Tips for the Best Hamburger Green Bean Casserole

• Use fresh green beans – Blanch fresh beans for the best texture and flavor, though canned beans work for convenience.

• Switch up the cheese – Try mozzarella, pepper jack, or Colby for a twist.

• Add more veggies – Mushrooms, bell peppers, or corn can add variety.

• Make it ahead – Assemble up to a day in advance and refrigerate. Just bake when ready to serve.
