1 lb. lean ground beef
1 can tomato soup
2 cans green beans, drained
1 box instant mashed potatoes or homemade mashed potatoes if you are industrious
2 c. grated cheese (sharp or whatever your preference)

Brown and drain ground beef. Add tomato soup and stir until bubbly.

In a separate pot, make the mashed potatoes according to package directions. I usually use the whole box. When this is done, put the ground beef mixture in an oblong baking dish, put green beans over this, then the mashed potatoes and cheese. Bake in a 350 degree oven until heated through and cheese melts.

This is fast and easy and my family loves it.

Variation: Use a little onion for extra flavor or use mixed vegetables instead of just green beans.
