Ingredients
For the potatoes:
- 4 potatoes
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons milk
- salt & pepper to taste
For the filling:
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1 onion diced
- 1 pound ground beef
- salt & pepper to taste
- 15 ounces green beans French-style, drained
- 6 ounces tomato sauce (6-8 oz can)
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
Instructions
For the potatoes:
- Peel & dice potatoes. Place in a pot of cold, salted water and place on the stovetop on high heat.
- Bring potatoes to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes or until tender.
- When potatoes are done, drain well, and mash with butter, milk, salt & pepper until smooth.
For the Filling:
- Heat oil in a saute pan over medium heat. When oil becomes hot, add onion and saute until onions become clear.
- Add ground beef and season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned. Drain excess grease, add green beans and cook an additional minute or two.
- Stir in tomato sauce and reduce heat to a slight simmer for about 5 minutes.
- Spread beef mixture evenly in the bottom of a glass baking dish or casserole dish (or divide evenly between individual ramekin dishes).
- Top with mashed potatoes and smooth evenly over beef mixture. Bake at 350-degrees for about 20 minutes.
- Top with cheese and bake another 5-10 minutes or until cheese begins to bubble up.

Notes
- For a bit of a sweeter, richer tomato flavor, add in a can or two of condensed tomato soup instead of tomato sauce.
- Garnish with parsley, rosemary, or thyme before serving.
- Add a dash or two of Worcestershire sauce to the meat mixture for a richer flavor.
- You can add as many veggies to the mixture as you like. I love green beans but you could also add green peas, diced carrots, corn, celery, or red peppers.
