Tips & Substitutions
For a twist on this recipe, consider using ground turkey or chicken instead of beef for a lighter option. You can also substitute the green beans for mixed vegetables if you prefer. To enhance the flavor, add garlic powder or Worcestershire sauce to the meat mixture. If you're short on time, pre-made pie crust can be used instead of the Bisquick dough.
Serving Suggestions
