My mom invented this flexible casserole when my first child was born, and it's been a standard in our household ever since. The ingredients can easily be varied, so use whatever soup and veggies you like. I tend to use boxed mashed potatoes. Double the recipe so you can freeze one! But only use 3 cans of soup; otherwise, it gets too juicy!

Ingredients

  • 8 large potatoes, peeled and chopped

  • 1 pound lean ground beef

  • ½ cup chopped onion

  • 1 (15 ounce) can carrots, drained

  • 1 (15 ounce) can green beans, drained

  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup

  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed tomato soup

  • ¾ cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

  2. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes. Drain and mash.

  3. While the potatoes are cooking, combine ground beef and onion in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir until beef is evenly browned and crumbly and onion is tender, 7 to 10 minutes. Drain.

  4. Stir carrots, green beans, and condensed soups into beef mixture. Transfer to the prepared baking dish. Spread mashed potatoes over beef mixture and sprinkle Cheddar cheese over top.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until potatoes are light golden brown on top, about 30 minutes.
