Another one of those comfort dishes here. Nothing fancy…..there are plenty of versions of this dish out there. But this is the one that was always a family favorite. Ground beef or turkey, mashed potatoes, green beans, cream of mushroom soup and cheese. What’s not to like? I also do a seafood version called Fisherman’s pie. I will post that later. Now, sometimes I use both green beans and corn, which I love and was going to do here. But the corn is still in a bowl on the counter feeling left out. I forgot. Not much to really say about this dish. It’s simple and very good.
