Directions: |
Directions:Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a heavy skillet, cook the hamburger and onion together until onion is translucent and meat has lost its pink color. Salt to taste. Drain grease and set meat aside in a large buttered casserole.
Peel the potatoes, cut them into quarters, cover with water, add salt and boil until they are just fork tender. Drain the water and mash with the added butter and a little milk. Taste and add salt if needed. Return to the cooking pan, cover, and set aside.
While the potatoes are boiling, cook the bacon, drain on paper towels and chop into small bite-size pieces. Put bacon pieces into a medium sauce pan. Chop the half of small onion, and put in the pan with the bacon. Open the cans of beans and add them along with some of the liquid to the bacon and onions. Bring to a boil and heat thorough.
Assemble the casserole. With the meat on the bottom of the casserole, use a slotted spoon to put the green beans over the hamburger, and put the mashed potatoes on top. Covering everything all the way to the edges. If you wish, sprinkle shredded Cheddar cheese over the top of the potatoes.
Put the dish into the oven on the center rack and allow to heat thoroughly -- about 25-30 minutes or until potatoes just start to brown. |

Notes: My mother made this many times, especially when Daddy was working late in the fields, and she would want me to eat early while she waited for him to come in. I thought it was a great dish and would many times eat a second supper with them when he finally got in the house and was cleaned up.
Lee and I hadn't been married many months when I decided to fix it. I was quite proud of myself when I set it on the table and spooned out a large helping onto his plate. Imagine my shock when he took one look at it and in no uncertain terms, announced that he was not going to eat that - - - -. Our first fight was over food! He left the dining room. Needless to say, I had a big leftover casserole to eat by myself. My pride would not let me throw it out, even to our dog Mitzi!
I don't remember him ever really apologizing, but in the process of Lee looking at my contributions to this cookbook, he asked me to add this addendum from him: "I do apologize. That was really cruel of me!" Apology accepted, 46+ years later. Life does go on...
