Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs ground beef (80/20)
  • 3 cups frozen green beans, blanched and dried
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • Optional: 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (check label for keto-friendliness)
  • Optional topping: 1/2 cup crushed pork rinds or 1/4 cup almond flour + 2 tbsp grated Parmesan

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat, if desired. Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire (if using).
  3. Lower heat and add heavy cream, cream cheese, and cheddar cheese. Whisk until smooth and thickened, about 3–4 minutes. Stir in Dijon and thyme. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  4. Fold in the green beans and mix gently until fully coated.
  5. Transfer mixture to a greased 8×8-inch baking dish. Top with crushed pork rinds or almond flour mixture if using.
  6. Bake for 20–25 minutes until bubbly and golden on top. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

To freeze, cool completely and store in airtight containers for up to 3 months. Reheat covered at 350°F for 30–40 minutes. Swap green beans with broccoli, zucchini, or asparagus. For dairy-free, use coconut cream and nutritional yeast.
