- The mashed potato and hamburger casserole recipe you
- requested sounds like a Shepherd's Pie. The
- only difference is that the Shepherd's Pie recipe
- I have uses carrots rather than green beans.
-
- P.S. My husband, who in general can't stand
- casseroles of any kind, declares this one
- to be the best casserole on the planet.
