Description

This ground beef and potato casserole is a comforting, family-friendly recipe made with canned vegetables and creamy soups—perfect for easy weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

8 large potatoes, peeled and chopped
1 pound lean ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 (15 ounce) can carrots, drained
1 (15 ounce) can green beans, drained
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can condensed tomato soup
3/4 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 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 lightly golden brown on top, about 30 minutes.
