½ cup sour cream, at room temperature
3 tablespoons salted butter, melted
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 ½ lbs. ground beef

MOM'S HAMBURGER AND GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE



Mom's Hamburger and Green Bean Casserole image

This recipe was passed down from my grandmother, to my mother and now I make it frequently. It's a big hit with hubby. It is also another one of those recipes that show how they stretched a pound of hamburger to feed a family. A salad goes along nicely with this.

Time 1h15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb ground beef
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can condensed tomato soup
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans cut green beans
4 cups mashed potatoes (or more)
1 egg
1 -2 tablespoon dehydrated onion (to taste)
1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Brown the ground beef. Drain.
  • Empty tomato soup into a casserole dish. (I use an oval pyrex 11X81/2X3).
  • Pour 1/2 of can of green bean juice into soup. Drain rest of green beans and add to dish.
  • Add dehydrated onion, salt, and pepper.
  • Mix.
  • Add drained ground beef into soup mixture. Mix well.
  • Beat egg and add to mashed potatoes. Mix well.
  • Top meat mixture with mashed potatoes.
  • Don't cover green bean mixture completely, leave a little area all around to allow mixture to bubble and not bubble over.
  • Try to make peaks with the potatoes for and extra special look.
  • Bake 30-45 minutes or until potatoes are browned.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your casserole.
  • Don't overcook the pasta. It should be al dente, or slightly firm to the bite.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different cheeses. A blend of cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan is a classic choice, but you can also try other types of cheese, such as Gouda, Gruyère, or Fontina.
  • Top the casserole with a crispy topping. This could be made from breadcrumbs, crushed crackers, or grated Parmesan cheese.
  • Let the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and the casserole to set.

Conclusion:

Hamburger casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a busy weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover hamburger. With a few simple tips, you can make a hamburger casserole that is sure to please everyone at the table.
