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.
