Original recipe yields 4 to 6 servings

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
In a large skillet over medium high heat, saute the beef and onion for 5 to 10 minutes, or until meat is browned. Drain excess fat and place this mixture in the bottom of a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
Layer the green beans, carrots, corn and peas over the beef mixture. Place the cheese over the vegetables.
Prepare the potatoes according to package directions, but add some extra milk or water to make it a little runny. Cover the entire casserole with the potatoes.
Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 1 hour, or until potatoes get slightly crusty and the sides of the dish are bubbly.

Instead, I added one chopped green pepper and sauteed with the ground beef and onion, and also used creamed corn instea..." See mored of whole kernel corn. I also subtituted 1 cup grated cheddar cheese for the 1/2 lb. processed cheese and prepared 2 cups of instant mashed potatoes instead of 4. Was very quick and easy and my husband really liked it.
