Number Of Ingredients 3

10 potatoes (for mashing)
1 lb ground beef
1 (10 ounce) can creamed corn

Steps:

  • Make mashed potatoes using the 10 potatoes. I boiled my potatoes, drain and then mash wtih butter and milk to a smooth consistency.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, brown the ground beef until thoroughly cooked. Drain and rinse off grease.
  • Grease a casserole or baking dish with butter or spray with Pam.
  • Once potatoes are mashed, line the bottom and sides of the casserole dish with a little under 2/3 of the potatoes. Make it look like a crust.
  • Mix together the ground beef and creamed corn. Pour into the casserole as the filling.
  • Top the filling with the remaining mashed potatoes, spreading to the sides and having it meet the "crust".
  • Bake in a 400 degree oven until the top is lightly browned - about 30 to 45 minutes.
