Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Hamburger Green Bean Casserole
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook for about 5 minutes, breaking it apart until it's no longer pink and begins to brown. Reserve 1 tablespoon of fat and transfer cooked beef to a plate.
- In the same skillet with reserved fat, add the diced onions and sauté for 3–4 minutes until translucent. Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for an additional 2 minutes until golden brown.
- Mix in the green beans, minced garlic, and low-sodium broth. Cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the green beans are bright green and crisp-tender.
- Reduce heat to medium-low. Add room temperature cream cheese, stirring until melted and incorporated. Follow with sour cream, mixing thoroughly.
- Return the browned beef to the skillet, coating it in the creamy mixture. Season with salt, black pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and thyme. Stir gently until well combined.
- Evenly sprinkle the shredded Colby Jack cheese over the surface. This will melt and form a delicious crust.
- Broil for 1–2 minutes or cover and cook on low heat for 3–4 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
