MEAT AND POTATO PIE

This is what was known as Shepherd's Pie in my family.  It's not a true Shepherd's Pie as it has no tomatoes, but it's delicious just the same and the kiddoes love it!

1 1/2 pounds Lean Ground Beef
1/2 tsp Garlic Salt
1/3 cup Onion
1 small can Mushroom Pieces, drained
1 10.5 ounce can Cream of Mushroom Soup
1 15 ounce can Kitchen Cut Green Beans
4 cups prepared Mashed Potatoes
1/2 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
1/2 cup Canned Fried Onions

Preheat over to 350°.

In a large heavy skillet brown and crumble ground beef with garlic salt and onion until beef is no longer pink.  Drain excess fat.  In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef mixture, mushroom pieces, soup and green beans.  Press mixture into a 2 quart casserole dish.  Evenly spread mashed potatoes over beef mixture.  Top with cheese and fried onions.  Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes until heated through and top is lightly golden.  Makes 6-8 servings.
