    This Potato Green Bean Casserole is full of creamy and cheesy mashed potatoes, green beans, and your favorite ground meat! An easy dinner recipe.

    This Potato Green Bean Casserole is one of my husband Ken's favorite casseroles. I'm sure it is mostly because of the green beans. He cant get enough of them. I believe this casserole was meant to be. Everything goes together perfectly.

    We have made this casserole with ground beef, ground pork and ground turkey. Sometimes a mixture of any two.  Frankly, I use whatever I have in the house or in my freezer!

    I usually use a can of cream of mushroom soup for this recipe but any condensed cream soup will do!   You can definitely use your favorite!  All of them work great!  

    This Potato Green Bean Casserole was originally a fabulous way to use up all of our green beans from our garden.  Now, I make it all year round!  I love these all in one meals or casseroles.  Easy to make and easy to clean up!

    Ingredients for Potato Green Bean Casserole

    • ground meat (beef, turkey, pork, sausage)
    • green beans

    • shredded cheese
    • soy
    • butter

    • parmesan cheese

    How to make Potato Green Bean Casserole

    Prepare casserole dish with cooking spray.

    Boil green beans until bright green. Drain.

    Add beans and combine.

    Place bean mixture on the bottom of casserole dish.

    Brown ground meat with diced onions until cooked and drain.

    Put meat mixture on top of beans.

    Flatten somewhat with a spatula.

    Boil potatoes until tender.

    Drain and return to warm pot.
