Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground beef (450 g)
  • 4 medium potatoes, sliced (approx. 600 g)
  • 1 medium onion, chopped (approx. 150 g)
  • 1 can green beans, drained (15 oz, 425 g)
  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup (10.5 oz, 300 g)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (about 100 g)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat until fully cooked.
  3. Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. In a greased baking dish, layer the sliced potatoes evenly.
  5. Spread the cooked beef and onion mixture over the layer of potatoes.
  6. Next, add the drained green beans over the beef layer.
  7. Pour the cream of mushroom soup over everything, spreading it out evenly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Baking
  1. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour.
  2. After an hour, remove the foil, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top, and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Notes

Serve hot from the oven. This dish can be accompanied by a simple side salad or some crusty bread. Leftovers can easily be stored in the fridge and reheated for a quick meal.
