EASY YUMMIEST GROUND BEEF AND GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• So additions I've tried include one 8 oz can sliced water chestnuts (chopped) and ½ onion chopped and ¼ cup red wine. truly none of these make the original recipe any better but I like to feel I contributed in some way --
• Saute ground beef (if adding water chestnuts and onions also sauté these at the same time) and add green beans when beef is mostly done. Then add the white pepper, soy sauce, (I do a tad less than ½ cup but the recipe won't let me put .38 cups) and balsamic vinegar (and if you're feeling sassy add that red wine too). Cook for 5-10 minutes and then yes my friend you are done (hopefully you've had the foresite to cook rice too) and have a MAGNIFICENT dish to serve your family and or friends -- One that someone, someday may marry you for. Just sayin' it worked on me!
• Truly the original with no additions is absolutely fabulous but for crunch (you texture lovers out there) add the water chestnuts. Otherwise it's perfect in original form but feel free to throw your creative twist on this and let me know what works!

THE MIXTURE - GREEN BEAN, MASHED POTATO, GROUND BEEF CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes and cut into chunks. Start them boiling.
• Meanwhile, start green beans boiling.
• Meanwhile, brown ground beef.
• Slice onions and spray casserole dish with non-stick coating.
• Place the browned ground beef in the bottom of the casserole dish. Cover with half of the cheese (tearing cheese slices into chunks if using) and half of the sliced onions.
• Add green beans next, and repeat cheese & onion layers.
• Drain potatoes, add milk and butter in your preferred amounts and mash. I use about 2 tablespoons butter & add milk until the consitancy is right.
• Spread mashed potatoes over top of casserole.
• Sprinkle with additional cheese and breadcrumbs followed by paprika if desired, otherwise just with paprika.
• Bake for about 20-30 minutes in a 400 oven until top of mashed potatoes is golden and cheese is well melted. May be prepared in advance, refridgerated and baked later.
• Hints: if this is too bland, some suggestions to spice it up: try adding garlic, worcestershire sauce and other spices when browning beef. Add paprika and garlic powder to the potatoes while mixing. Use jalapeno cheese.
