Method
Preparation
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook for about 5 minutes, breaking it up as you go until no pink remains. Drain any excess fat, reserving 1 tablespoon in the pan, then set the beef aside.
- In the reserved fat, toss in the diced onion and cook for 3–4 minutes until translucent. Add mushrooms and sauté for another 2 minutes until they start to caramelize.
- Stir in green beans, minced garlic, and broth. Cook for 2–3 minutes until beans turn bright green but still crisp-tender.
- Lower the heat to medium-low. Stir in cream cheese until smooth, then blend in the sour cream to make a creamy sauce.
- Add the cooked beef back to the skillet. Sprinkle in salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and thyme. Stir gently until everything is well mixed and coated.
- Sprinkle Colby Jack cheese evenly over the top.
- Option A (broiler): Place under the broiler for 1–2 minutes until golden and bubbly.
- Option B (stovetop): Cover and cook on low for 3–4 minutes until cheese melts. Serve hot.
Notes
Serve with crispy garlic bread or a light green salad. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for 3-4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
