Ingredients
- Approx. 8 cups of mashed potatoes, salted, peppered and buttered to taste.
- 1# hamburger
- 1 quart of green beans
- ½ medium onion chopped
- Mushroom sauce (recipe below)
- 1 cup shredded cheese
Mushroom Soup Ingredients
- 3T Butter
- 3T flour
- 1½ cups milk
- ¼ cup dry, mushrooms, Or ½ cup sliced fresh mushrooms, Or small can of mushrooms.
- ¼ teas. celery powder
- ¼ teas. onion powder
- ¼ teas garlic powder
- 1 teas. salt.
Instructions
- Start by getting your potatoes on. You can use instant or real. The 8 cups is an approximate measure, but usually 8 medium potatoes is about right.
- Make Your Mushroom Soup: Melt butter on medium high heat, then stir in flour. Add in mushrooms and seasoning, stir well. Pour milk over it all and heat until thickened and bubbly.
- Brown your hamburger and onion together, drain off grease. Stir in your mushroom sauce.
- Mash your potatoes and season to taste.
- Drain your green beans and lightly press them into the bottom of a 9x13 pan. Spoon the hamburger sauce mixture over the green beans. Spread your mashed potatoes over top of that and sprinkle cheese on the mashed potatoes.
- This will fill the pan clear full. If you have a lot more than 8 cups of potatoes, you may not want to put them all on. Bubbled over casserole isn't exactly what you want in your oven. :)
- Bake at 350 for 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the edges are bubbly.
Notes
This is a great make-ahead meal; however, be for-warned that once you put it in the fridge, it will take close to an hour to warm. This is due to the potatoes taking a long time to get hot in the oven.
Another tip, when you go to reheat leftovers (assuming there are some) if you are just warming enough for 2 or 3 people, you can put it in a pan with a bit of water, turn the head to med low and cover. It will be warm within 5-10 minutes. :)
