My Son's Favorite Casserole

My son is home on leave and one of his requests was for one of his favorite casserole dishes.  This is also known as Shepherd's Pie.  So, I finally made it last night for dinner.   This can be modified by using various substitutions.

Here is my recipe:

1 pkg ground turkey (1.25 lbs)
1-2 Tbsp Onion Onion

Green beans
black pepper
1 can Cream of Mushroom Soup
Mashed Potatoes
Shredded Cheddar Cheese

Okay, yes I don't have quantities.  That's because I don't measure items.  I just eyeball it.  I'll give you the original recipe later on in the blog.

Instructions:  Brown the ground turkey, add the Onion Onion.  Place in the bottom of a 8x8x2 baking dish.  Add a layer of green beans.  Sprinkle black pepper.  Pour the mushroom soup.  Add a layer of mashed potatoes.  Sprinkle the top with cheese.  Cover with aluminum foil.  Bake in oven at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until warmed through and cheese is melted.  Makes 6 servings.

Here's the original recipe:

1-1 1/2 lb hamburger
1 med onion
1 can cream of mushroom soup
10 potatoes
1/2 c shredded cheese
1 pt green beans (optional)
salt & pepper
Milk
butter

Brown hamburger and onion in fry pan (green pepper, optional).  Peel potatoes while meat is browning and boiling to make mashed.  Drain grease off hamburger mixture and put in casserole dish.  Add mushroom soup and small amount of milk (add green bean here if you want),  Pat out flat next put mashed potatoes on top of meat mixture.  cover with cheese.  cover dish and put in oven on 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until warmed through and cheese is melted.
