Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 55m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/3 lbs potatoes (about 4 medium)
milk
butter
thinly sliced onion
1 cup frozen green beans
2 -4 slices processed american cheese slices or 2 -4 slices shredded casserole cheese
1/2 lb ground beef
paprika
breadcrumbs (optional)

Steps:

  • Peel the potatoes and cut into chunks. Start them boiling.
  • Meanwhile, start green beans boiling.
  • Meanwhile, brown ground beef.
  • Slice onions and spray casserole dish with non-stick coating.
  • Place the browned ground beef in the bottom of the casserole dish. Cover with half of the cheese (tearing cheese slices into chunks if using) and half of the sliced onions.
  • Add green beans next, and repeat cheese & onion layers.
  • Drain potatoes, add milk and butter in your preferred amounts and mash. I use about 2 tablespoons butter & add milk until the consitancy is right.

Yield Makes 4 (side dish) servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound green beans, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
2 pounds russet (baking) potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
4 large garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 (28-ounces) can whole tomatoes in juice
1 cup water

Steps:

  • Cook green beans, potatoes, and garlic in oil with 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a 5-quart heavy pot over medium-high heat, covered, stirring occasionally, until vegetables begin to soften and stick to bottom of pot, about 10 minutes.
  • Pulse tomatoes with their juice several times in a food processor until coarsely chopped, then add to vegetables. Add water and simmer, partially covered, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Mash a few potatoes into sauce and season with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • For the best mashed potatoes, use Yukon Gold or russet potatoes. These varieties are starchy and will give you a creamy, smooth texture.
  • Peel and cube the potatoes before boiling them. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Do not overcook the potatoes. They should be tender but still hold their shape.
  • Use a potato ricer to get the smoothest mashed potatoes. If you don't have a potato ricer, use a food mill or a potato masher.
  • Add milk, butter, and seasonings to the mashed potatoes while they are still hot. This will help them absorb the flavors.
  • To make steamed green beans, trim the ends of the beans and rinse them under cold water.
  • Place the green beans in a steamer basket over a pot of boiling water.
  • Steam the green beans for 3-5 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp.
  • Season the green beans with salt, pepper, and butter.

Conclusion:

Mashed potatoes and steamed green beans are a classic side dish that is perfect for any occasion. These recipes are easy to follow and can be made in just a few minutes. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your mashed potatoes and steamed green beans are always perfect.
