Lazy Cottage Pie

This is a tasty, quick, and easy dish to prepare when you have no time to plan for supper. This is so easy to prepare and will please a hungry group of children on a chilly day. You may substitute peas & carrots for the green beans if you prefer. You may also substitute ground lamb for the ground beef, or even leftover minced roasted beef/lamb (in which case just saute the onions alone and mix with the cooked meat). I usually use homemade leftover garlic mashed potatoes in this, but if all you have is instant, well - this is supposed to be a Lazy Mom's dish, so go ahead. I garnish this with a sprinkle of paprika if I am leaving out the cheese. Don't worry about the lack of salt & pepper in the meat - the soup provides all the seasonings and is the "secret" ingredient. Doubles well, and also can be made the day before, chilled and baked the next day for a hot lunch.
SERVES 4 -6
Ingredients
- 1 lb extra lean ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 (15 ounce) can green beans, drained (or peas & carrots or mixed leftover veggies)
- 1 (10 1/2 ounce) can condensed tomato soup
- 3-4 cups leftover mashed potatoes (or prepare 6 servings instant)
- 1/8-1/4 cup cheddar cheese, shredded (optional)
- paprika, garnsih (optional)
Directions
1
Brown beef and onion together in a large skillet, drain fat.2
Place meat into a medium greased caserole dish (it doesn't matter what shape- you want to be able to have the meat spread in one layer).3
Spread the beans on top.4
Spread the unprepared soup on top of the beans using a spatula.5
Next spread the mashed potatoes over all, sealing edges.6
Sprinkle with cheese, if desired (I often omit).7
Bake, uncovered, in a preheated 350 F or 180 C oven for about 20 minutes, or until bubbling.8
NOTE:If you like, use a fork to make lines in the mashed potatoes (or, you could also pipe the mashed potatoes on top using a decorating bag with a wide star tip if you aren't feeling quite so lazy).

This looked like a great recipe to me, simple, easy to make, usually have everything on hand, etc. I had high hopes to add this to my cadre of comfort foods, but it didn't live up the expectations. I didn't expect it to blow my mind for taste, just that it would be a good use for left over mashed potatoes and a warm filling meal. It was not my cup of tea at all. I made it as written and did not find it suitable. I did give it three stars, obviously a lot of other people really enjoyed it, but even with changes in spices, incorporated the soup early in the process, etc, I don't think it would make the cut for me. Thanks for posting.

This dish was GREAT!!! I just HAVE to give it five stars; it is EASY, INEXPENSIVE, and TASTY! I used homemade mashed potatoes; and I put a handfull of shredded cheddar into the potatoes, then a little more on top. Thanks for the recipe!

Yumm! I put this together about a month ago and it's been residing in my freezer. Pulled it out this afternoon and let it thaw a bit and baked tonight for about 40 minutes. Very easy and tasty. My mom's looking forward to the leftovers I'll take to her.
