A quick, one-pan skillet dinner with savory ground beef, crisp green beans, mushrooms, and a creamy sauce, all topped with melted cheese. A high-protein, low-carb meal ready in 25 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale

1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend)
2 cups green beans, trimmed (fresh or thawed frozen)
1 cup diced yellow or white onion
1 cup sliced button or baby bella mushrooms
3 tsp fresh minced garlic
¼ cup low-sodium beef or chicken broth
⅓ cup full-fat sour cream
2 Tbsp cream cheese, room temperature
½ tsp sea salt, or to taste
½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
½ tsp halal Worcestershire-style sauce
⅛ tsp dried thyme
2 cups shredded Colby Jack cheese (use 1 cup for lighter version)

Instructions

  1. Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook for ~5 min, breaking it up, until no pink remains. Drain, reserving 1 Tbsp fat in the pan; set beef aside.
  2. In the reserved fat, cook diced onion for 3–4 min until translucent. Add mushrooms; sauté for 2 min until they begin to caramelize.
  3. Stir in green beans, minced garlic, and broth. Cook for 2–3 min until beans are bright green and crisp-tender.
  4. Reduce heat to medium-low. Melt in cream cheese, stirring until smooth. Blend in sour cream to form a creamy sauce.
  5. Return cooked beef to skillet. Add salt, pepper, halal Worcestershire-style sauce, and thyme. Stir gently until everything is evenly coated.
  6. Sprinkle Colby Jack cheese evenly over the surface.
  7. Option A (broiler): Place skillet under broiler 1–2 min until cheese is golden and bubbly. Option B (stovetop): Cover and cook on low 3–4 min until cheese melts. Serve hot.

Notes

  • For a leaner option, use 90/10 ground beef and add 1 tsp of olive oil to the pan.
  • Ensure the Worcestershire-style sauce is halal-certified.
  • The dish is best served immediately. Reheat leftovers in a skillet with a splash of broth.
