Start to Finish: 60 minutes

Ingredients:
Homemade Mashed Potatoes or one 24-ounce package refrigerated mashed potatoes
1-1/4 pounds lean ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onion (1 medium)
1/4 teaspoon salt
Dash black pepper
2-1/2 cups frozen cut green beans, thawed
1 (10.75 oz) can condensed tomato soup
1/2 cup shredded American cheese

Directions:
1) Prepare mashed potatoes; set aside. In a large skillet cook meat and onion until meat is brown and onion is tender. Drain off fat. Add salt and pepper. Stir in thawed beans and soup. Pour into a greased 2-quart rectangular baking dish or casserole.
2) Spoon mashed potatoes in mounds on beef mixture. Sprinkle cheese over potatoes. Bake, uncovered, in a 350 degree F oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until mixture is bubbly and cheese begins to brown.

Servings: 6

Notes: Mmmm, yummy. This is really the only way that my husband will eat green beans and not complain the entire time. Mashed potatoes and meat are always great together.

Variations: Really, the green beans could be taken out, but where is the fun in that?
