Green bean, hamburger casserole

It's rainy, it's cold and it is the perfect day for a one dish meal, a casserole. I like this recipe a lot because you can modify it in so many ways.

Green bean, hamburger casserole:

 1 lbs. hamburger
1 onion, chopped
salt and pepper to taste
1 can of condensed tomato soup ( you can substitute 2 tbs. tomato paste and 1/4 cup water)

2 1/2 cups cooked and drained green beans ( you can substitute 1-2 cans of green beans)

5 medium potatoes
1/2 cup warm milk
butter
salt, pepper and nutmeg

french fried onions for topping

Brown the meat and onions. Season it to taste with salt and pepper. Add the tomato soup and stir well.
Add the beans. Pour this mix into a casserole dish.

Cook the potatoes until soft. Drain. Mash them with milk, butter and spices. ( you can also use instant potatoes, if you like) Spoon in mounts over the meat mix.

Bake in 350 F ( 175 C) oven for about 30 minutes
Sprinkle the french fried onions on top and bake for 5 minutes longer or until onions are crisp.

One dish goodness!
