This recipe goes back to when my family lived on the farm and was tight on cash. A delicious combination of just the right ingredients! YUM. Grandma is an amazing cook. Note-- For the vegetables you can substitute a bag or two of frozen vegetables. I like to use the new steam bags that you stick in the microwave!

16 ounces instant mashed potatoes
16 ounces of mild shredded cheese
11 1/2 ounces cream of mushroom soup

Steps:

  • On the bottom of a 13x9 baking pan smooth the beef mixture to cover the bottom. Add the vegetables on top of the beef. MAKE SURE TO DRAIN ALL LIQUIDS BEFORE ADDING TO THE DISH! On top of the vegetables smooth over the already prepared mashed potatoes. Sprinkle the cheese on the top and season with black pepper.
  • Stick 'er in the oven for 20-30 minutes or until the cheese is nicely tanned.
  • Enjoy!
