Preparation Steps

  • Start by gathering all your ingredients. Chop the onion and dice the potatoes to ensure they cook evenly in the casserole.
  • In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Add the chopped onion and sauté until soft, about 3-4 minutes. This mixture will form the flavorful base of your casserole.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked beef and onion with the drained green beans and cream of mushroom soup. Stir until everything is well incorporated.
  • Gently fold in the diced potatoes to the mixture, ensuring they’re coated in the creamy sauce for added flavor.
  • Season your casserole base with salt and pepper to taste. Remember, it’s easier to add more later, so start with less!
  • Spread the entire mixture into a greased baking dish.
  • Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
  • Place your casserole in the preheated oven at 350°F (175°C). Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  • Once done, remove the casserole from the oven and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes before serving.
  • Serve warm and enjoy with your family or friends!

Notes
