Instructions:

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Peel and chop the potatoes into chunks. Boil them until they’re tender, then drain and mash them. While mashing, add in the egg to create a creamy, fluffy texture. Set the mashed potatoes aside.
-
In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground hamburger with the chopped onion until it’s fully cooked. Drain any excess grease.
-
Add the can of green beans and cream of mushroom soup to the skillet with the cooked hamburger and onions. Stir well to combine all the ingredients evenly.
-
Transfer the meat mixture to a greased casserole dish, spreading it out evenly along the bottom.
-
Spoon the mashed potatoes over the meat mixture, using a spatula to spread them out evenly and cover the entire surface.
-
Sprinkle the shredded sharp cheddar cheese generously over the top of the mashed potatoes, creating a delicious cheesy crust.
-
Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the casserole is heated through.

Once baked to golden perfection, remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
