Note

For a lighter version, you can use turkey or chicken ground meat instead of beef.

If you prefer a thicker crust, you can add an extra tablespoon of breadcrumbs to the meat mixture.

Ensure the green beans are well-drained to prevent the filling from becoming too watery.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven until warmed through.
