Another day maybe..right now I need 'one pot' dishes so I can get outdoor chores done.

I'm thinking of chicken fried rice, chicken balls, and a stir fry for tomorrow. I need to get the freezer empty so I can defrost and restock soon.

Merme--here ya go

Hamburger-Green Bean Casserole

1 can French styled Green beans, drained
1 can Tomato Soup
1 lb. Hamburger, browned & drained.
Mashed potatoes (instant or homemade)
1 egg
1 (4 oz) pkg Cheddar Cheese

Brown Hamburger and drain off excess fat. Add green beans and tomato soup to meat and mix together. Put into a greased 2 qt casserole. Set aside. Mix the egg into the mashed potaotes.

Place mashed potatoes on top of the green bean casserole and then sprinkle the shredded cheese on top.
(mom put the potatoes around the edge of the casserole so there was an uncoverd place in the middle of the casserole.)
Bake at 350*F for 20-25 minutes or until heated thru.

You can (& I think should) add the cheese the last 10 minutes of the baking time, so it has just enough time to melt & will not burn.
____________________________________________________________

Here is what I really did:
I added about 1/2 cup chopped onion to the meat when browning & seasoned meat to taste.
-I had regular cut green beans so I used them and chopped them into shorter pieces with a fork.
I used an 8 oz can of tomato sauce instead of the soup.
I looked at a recipe that said to use 8-10 oz of Ragu so I think next time I will buy an 8 oz can of sauce with oregano and garlic added instead of the plain.

I would not use instant potatoes next time. The flavor & texture is not as good as homemade. Also I would use a bit less milk when mashing the real potatoes so when the egg is added the potatoes will not become saucy. They need to be sorta thick, so they stand up to be the topping on the rest of the casserole.

I left out the cheese but an idea would be to use the oregano flavored sauce and then add shredded Mozzarella either on top towards the end or possibly mix it in with the beans & sauce.
