1 lb. ground beef
1/2 c. onion, chopped
1/2 tsp. salt
Dash of pepper
1 (1 lb.) can (2 c.) cut green beans, drained
1 can condensed tomato soup
5 med. potatoes, cooked
1/2 c. warm milk
1 egg, beaten
2 oz. (1/2 c.) processed American cheese, shredded

In large skillet, cook meat and onion until meat is lightly browned and onion is tender. Add salt and pepper. (Drain excess grease.) Add drained beans and soup; pour into greased 1 1/2 quart casserole. Mash potatoes while hot; add milk and egg. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon in mounds over casserole. Sprinkle potatoes with cheese. Bake in moderate oven (350 degrees) for 25 to 30 minutes. Makes 4 to 6 servings.

Or prepare 4 servings packaged instant mashed potatoes according to package directions, except reserve the milk. Add egg and season with salt and pepper to taste. Add enough reserved milk so potatoes are stiff enough to hold shape.
