Courtesy of: Joshua mom, Kris Ericson

1 lb ground beef
1/4 cup chopped onion
12-16 oz frozen green beans
1 can condensed tomato soup
salt and pepper
mashed potatoes
cheddar cheese

Brown meat and onion. Drain. Salt and pepper to taste. Add 1 12-16 oz package frozen green beans. Mix soup with one can of water. Stir into meat mixture. Heat until beans are cooked to desired doneness. While cooking, prepare 4 servings of mashed potatoes (leftovers work well). Mix potatoes a bit dry. Drop spoonfuls onto meat mixture. Garnish with cheddar cheese. Serve promptly.

Tips/Tweaks

Keeping it Healthy

Whenever a recipe calls for ground beef, we always substitute a lean beef/turkey ground mixture (found at Festival Foods). We also use reduced sodium tomato soup.

Tips

If your looking to save some time, use pre-made mashed potatoes, like Bob Evans brand, found in the refrigerated section. You can also brown the meat ahead of time.

Review

We both forgot how good this meal is that when we made it, we made it twice in one week. It makes for great leftovers (or lunch during the week). This has been a recipe that Joshua's mom has made for many years and I'm sure it'll be a go to meal for our family as well.
