Ingredients

  • 1 pound extra lean ground beef (at least 85/15)
  • 1 can green beans, drain half the liquid (14-15 ounce)
  • 1 cream of chicken soup (10.5 ounce)
  • 3 potatoes, diced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
A slice of cottage pie sitting on a country plate with a square pan in the background.

Directions

Place potatoes in salted water and cook until tender. Drain, reserving about ½ cup cooking water. Mash potatoes, using the reserved cooking water as needed. (You might need a little additional water or milk to make spreadable.)

Brown the ground beef in skillet with the salt and pepper. Drain if desired. Combine cooked beef, green beans, and cream of chicken soup in a mixing bowl, and stir to combine. Pour into a 2-quart baking dish that’s been sprayed with Pam. Spread mashed potatoes over the top of the casserole. Bake for 25 minutes at 350 degrees until bubbly around the edges.
