Garbage Casserole

This is a favorite, stand-by recipe for me. I seem to always have the ingredients on hand, and using instant mashed potatoes makes preparation faster. This recipe also divides in half easily using an 8x8-inch pan & baking for 45-60 minutes.

Ingredients:
2 lb. ground beef
1 large onion, chopped
2 cans tomato soup
3 - 15 oz. cans cut or french cut green beans
8-10 cups mashed potatoes, prepared
Paprika (optional)

Directions:
Brown ground beef and onion; drain grease. Layer in 9x13-inch pan as follows: ground beef mixture, tomato soups, green beans and mashed potatoes. Sprinkle paprika over the top. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 to 1-1/2 hours, or until bubbly.
