  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and cook for about 6-8 minutes, breaking it apart as it browns. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and add the fresh green beans. Blanch for 3-4 minutes until bright green and slightly tender.

  5. Pour the beef and green bean mixture into your greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Top with shredded cheddar cheese.
