Ingredients
-
1 lb extra lean ground beef
-
1 small onion, finely chopped
-
1 (15 ounce) can green beans, drained (or peas & carrots or mixed leftover veggies)
-
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can condensed tomato soup
-
3 -4 cups leftover mashed potatoes (or prepare 6 servings instant)
-
1/8-1/4 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
-
paprika, garnish
Instructions
- Brown beef and onion together in a large skillet, drain fat.
- Place meat into a medium greased caserole dish (it doesn't matter what shape- you want to be able to have the meat spread in one layer).
- Spread the beans on top.
- Spread the unprepared soup on top of the beans using a spatula.
- Next spread the mashed potatoes over all, sealing edges.
- Sprinkle with cheese, if desired (I often omit).
- Bake, uncovered, in a preheated 350 F or 180 C oven for about 20 minutes, or until bubbling.
- NOTE:If you like, use a fork to make lines in the mashed potatoes (or, you could also pipe the mashed potatoes on top using a decorating bag with a wide star tip if you aren't feeling quite so lazy).
