shepard's pie casserole

its almost fall
which means the food in my house changes.
we leave the grill and deck nights
for chili, soups and casseroles.
a friend of mine at work passed along five new recipes and i made one last week.

you'll need:
1 lb. ground beef
1 pkg onion soup mix
1 can corn
1 can green beans
1 can tomato soup
1 box instant mashed potatoes
1 cup shredded cheese

brown hamburger with onion soup mix. spread out on the bottom of an 8x10 pan. drain corn and pour over meat. drain green beans and pour over corn. spread tomato soup over green beans. follow pkg directions for mashed potatoes and layer on top of tomato soup. bake at 350 for 30 minutes. sprinkle shredded cheese on top the last 5 minutes.

it's really simple and makes a lot for leftovers. i'd never had instant potatoes before and the weren't bad, but the recipe would be better with homemade potatoes and green beans out of the garden.
