Hamburger and green bean casserole

 Here's a simple recipe for a hamburger and green bean casserole that is free from sugar and flour:

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed and cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup (look for a low-carb, sugar-free version)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions:

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cook Ground Beef: In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat.
  3. Sauté Onion and Garlic: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the ground beef. Sauté until the onion is translucent.
  4. Prepare Green Beans: Steam or boil the green beans until they are just tender. You can also blanch them in boiling water for a few minutes. Drain and set aside.
  5. Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  6. Assemble Casserole: In a baking dish, layer half of the cooked ground beef and onion mixture. Add a layer of half the green beans. Pour half of the soup mixture over this layer. Repeat with the remaining beef, green beans, and soup mixture.
  7. Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
  8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the casserole is hot and bubbly, and the cheese is melted and golden brown.
  9. Serve: Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious hamburger and green bean casserole!
