Ingredients

• 1 pound lean ground beef
• 1 (15 ounce) can carrots, drained
• 1 (15 ounce) can green beans, drained
• 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
• 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed tomato soup
• 8 large potatoes, peeled and chopped
• 0.5 cup chopped onion

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until potatoes are light golden brown on top, about 30 minutes.

Step 5

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.
