Shepherds Pie (also known as hungry boy)

This has been my favorite casserole since i was a little kid. When i married Kevin and made this he loved it so much and still to this day if its been over a month not made the kids and Kev will be requesting and wondering why it hasn't been made.

1 lb hamburger
1 can tomato soup (or you can use 2 small cans tomato sauce)
1 qrt. green beans (or a can or 2) drained
4-5 potatoes, cooked & mashed
Cheddar Cheese to top casserole

Brown hamburger, drain grease. Add in tomato soup. I then salt and pepper it to taste. Add in green beans and mix altogether. Put in a 9x 13 pan put potatoes on top then cheese. Cover and bake @ '350 for 30 minutes. I don't always cover it and its just fine.


So i love this dish for a couple reasons. First off i like to use leftover mashed potatoes since i usually make enough for an army with dinner the night before. Second i have used corn instead of the green beans and its obviously still delicious (and Davis's fav!) Instant potatoes will do too. So you can make this yummy completely from scratch or like me use leftovers from another meal. I find his very convenient and useful. I hate wasting!
