Ingredients:

10 red potatoes, cut into chunks (don't peel)

1 pound ground hamburger

1 (10.5-ounce) can cream of mushroom soup

1/4 cup water

salt and pepper

1 (14.5-ounce) can french-style green beans

1 1/2 cups frozen corn, thawed or 1 (15oz.) can whole corn

1/4 cup milk

1/4 cup butter, softened

1 cup cheddar cheese, grated

Preparation:

In a large pot, boil potatoes for 20 minutes or until tender. Meanwhile, brown hamburger in large skillet; drain. Add both soup cans and water to skillet to make soupy consistency. Salt and pepper to taste. 

Combine green beans and corn in a saucepan. Boil about 6 minutes; drain. 

Drain potatoes. In a bowl; mix potatoes, milk, and butter until potatoes are smooth and mixture is well blended. 

In 9x13 casserole dish; layer meat mixture, vegetables, and mashed potatoes. Bake at 350°  for 15 minutes. Top with cheese; bake additional 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
