Easy Keto Ground Beef Casserole

I saw this recipe while on vacation...eating really good, not low carb food. I knew the moment I got home I HAD to get back on the low carb train because inviting carbs into my life again is a failure I am not interested in. So, tonight, I stopped and got the ingredients for this.

It's an interesting combination of things. I wasn't sure what to expect and, frankly, it was good. It's not fancy...it's protein and filling. I'd make this again.

I only made one modification, I added about tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce.

Once the ground beef mixture thickens add the two cans of green beans that have been drained on top then sprinkle cheese on top of green beans.

Bake for 25 minutes.
