Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 pounds ground beef 85/15 blend preferred
  • 1 pound bacon chopped
  • 16 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 packet onion soup mix
  • 4 cups green beans chopped
  • 1 large onion diced

  • 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese grated
  • ½ cup butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish. Cook bacon in a skillet until crispy, remove, and reserve 2 tbsp fat.
  2. Brown ground beef in bacon fat until fully cooked. Drain and set aside.
  3. In a bowl, mix softened cream cheese, sour cream, and onion soup mix until smooth. Season with half the pepper and paprika.
  4. Layer half the potato slices in the casserole dish. Top with beef, onion, garlic, green beans, and bacon.
  5. Spread cream cheese mixture evenly. Top with remaining potatoes and pour melted butter over.
  6. Sprinkle cheese and remaining seasonings. Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 25-30 minutes.
  7. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving to allow flavors to set.
