Vivian, a woman from my church, brought this to our family at the birth of one of my children. It is delicious and as you will note, it can be used for 2 different meals.
2 ½ lbs extra lean
ground beef
2 tsp salt and
pepper, or to taste
1 ½ TB
Worcestershire sauce
1 onions, chopped
1 ½ cloves of
garlic, finely chopped
1 c finely chopped
carrots
1 c ketchup
1 c hot ketchup
1 16 oz can French
cut green beans, drained
2 c mashed potatoes
1 c grated cheese
Melt 2 TB shortening
in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, celery, and
carrots. Sauté until onions are golden brown. Add ground beef. Stir
and cook until meat is browned. Add salt, pepper, Worcestershire
sauce and ketchups. Cover and simmer until meat is cooked. Only use
half of the meat mixture for the casserole. Use the other half for
barbeque beef sandwiches. Layer the meat, green beans, potatoes and
then cheese. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes.
