Quick & Easy Cassarole
My mom made this off the back of a soup can when I was a kid (30+ years ago). It has been a favorite of our family and passed down ever since. It is one of the first things our children learned to cook. You can make it to taste with different variations.
Quick & Easy Cassarole
1 to 2 pounds ground beef
desired amount of chopped onion (optional)
salt and pepper to taste
2 cans green beans (may use frozen, thawed)
Family size can tomato soup
enough mashed potatoes to cover top of pan
grated cheddar cheese (optional)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a dutch oven or large pan, brown meat and onion, drain. Add the salt and papper, green beans, and tomato soup. Mix thoroughly. Leave on pan or pour into cassarole dish and "forst" the top with the mashed potatoes, Sprinkle the potatoes with the cheese. Place in oven until heated thru, about 1/2 hour or so.
Serve with salad or cottage cheese and fruit and hot biscuits.
Variations:
