Snowcapped Casserole Recipe

Prep: 20 min. Bake: 30 min.

Yield: 4 Servings

20 30 50

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) cut green beans, drained
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2-1/2 cups hot mashed potatoes (prepared with milk and butter)
1/4 cup butter, melted
Paprika

Directions

In a large skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the beans, tomato sauce, salt and pepper.
Transfer to a greased shallow 2-qt. baking dish. Top with eight mounds of mashed potatoes. Drizzle with butter; sprinkle with paprika. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 30 minutes or until potatoes are browned. Yield: 4 servings.

To cook potatoes for mashing, peel and cut into chunks. Place in a saucepan; cover with water. Bring to a boil; cover and cook for 15-30 minutes or until tender. Drain well and mash. One large potato will yield about 1 cup mashed potatoes.

My family requests this at least twice a month. My 10 year old daughter is always like "YES!" when I tell her I am making it for dinner. :) Absolutely LOVE this recipe!

Boy, this is an old recipe -- from Better Homes and Gardens in the 1950s. I've served it since then. It's a good way to get veggies down reluctant kids.
