This recipe gives me 50’s casserole vibes and Thanksgiving green bean casserole vibes but in a much easier and healthier way. It uses ingredients you can easily have on hand at all times and it is very budget friendly. It is a crowd pleaser meaning that kids will love it as will picky adults. This makes for great leftovers and can be easily frozen as well.
Advanced Plan & Core Plan
Serves 2-3 (double recipe to serve 4-6)
2 lbs grass fed ground beef
salt and pepper to taste
1/8 tsp fresh grated nutmeg (optional)
1/2 block organic cream cheese
1/4 cup grass fed half and half
3 cans organic green beans, drained
3-4 cups shredded organic cheese (I used mozerella)
Brown the ground beef, drain any extra fat and add salt, pepper, nutmeg and mix well. Add in the cream cheese and half and half and let melt and incorporate.
Put the meat mixture in the bottom of a casserole dish, add green beans in an even layer, then top with cheese. Bake for about 30 minutes in a 375 degree oven or until it is cooked through and the cheese is melted.

Hi! Thank you for doing this recipe-burger bowl. I think what makes it “core plan” is just the potato? So, if it is made without the potato it might be “advanced plan”?
Correct Cynthia. To make it advanced plan you could use chopped cauliflower or roast radishes (they taste like potatoes when cooked). 🙂
