My mom used to make this recipe all the time when I was growing up. Except we just combined the soup, beef & green beans together and spread the mixture over a baked potato or over a biscuit. So very good!!!

Good. I took the other suggestions and made it with 1/2 cream of mushroom and 1/2 tomato soup. I also used corn instead of green beans so my son would eat it. My husband said he would prefer it without cheese....but what does he know?! :)

Probably 3 and a half. I made this tonight and it was quite good with some of the changes I made. I followed the advice of some here and did one can of tomato and one of mushroom. I added more veggies as well. I used the onion, half a red pepper, I had a small zucchini that needed to be used, so I threw that in, about half a bag of frozen corn and the beans. I also added a few good splashes of Franks. All in all a good quick dinner. Thanks Corrie!

This is a staple in my house. My only variations are cooking a chopped onion with the meat and using only 1 can of soup. I also spread the potatoes evenly over the top and omit the cheese. LOVE!

Like everyone else I added additional spices and the flavor was fantastic. But I'm not sure why no one else has commented about the consistency. It was hardly thicker than soup.

I have always loved this recipe, but lost the recipe a little while back. I am glad to have found it again! The only thing I did different was to add 4 cloves of fresh garlic, chopped up, to the browning meat. I also used instant mashed potatoes and I used 2 cups of cheese instead of the 1. Yum!!

My husband made this and it turned out fine. It wasn't anything too exciting. He used 1 can of cream of mushroom soup in place of a can of tomato soup and added a can of corn. Milk and butter were added to the potatoes and garlic and basil were added to the meat mixture. I probably won't make this recipe again...it tasted fine, it just wasn't very exciting.

I added basil, pepper and a bit of garlic powder to the meat/soup mixture for added flavor and it was great!

My mom used to make this the only difference was that she always layered it. The hamburger/tomato mixture went at the bottom of a large bowl, next layer was green beans, then mashed potatoes, topped with lots of cheese! Very good

This recipe was well liked by the family. I did make some changes. I doubled the recipe, used 1 small can of tomato soup and 1 1/2 large can of cream of chicken soup. The other 1/2 can of chicken soup I added to the mashed potatoes. As suggested by someone else, I used corn instead of green beans. I put the hamburger/soup mixture on bottom, then cheese and mashed potatoes on top. I broiled it in the oven until the mashed potatoes were golden brown. Usually when I prepare something new, my husband will say, "I liked it better the last time" or "Not bad if you add lots of margarine, salt and pepper." This time he said that this had really good flavor.

I made this for years for my family growing up after a friend brought it over when my grampa died. Taught my husband to make it when he took over cooking dinner. He makes it with deerburger now, adds garlic, thyme, and basil while browning, uses the cheapest tomato soup I can find, and instant potatoes on top. We love this!

I have made this recipe for over 30 years. It is really wonderful. The only thing I do different is I omit the tomato soup (too bland) and just use ketchup in the ground beef. Makes it more tangy. I don't measure just eyeball it. Gives the grean beans a better flavor. I let the beef, ketchup, onion and beans simmer all together for awhile... also I use the Shellie green beans. Yum...I'm getting hungry.

We thought it was pretty bland. Next time we will add a lot more things to spice it up. I try to follow the recipe before I change it so I know what the original product was going to be. In this case, spice the recipe up your first time around. We will continue changing this recipe b/c it is nice to have something different to do with ground beef.

I thought this recipe was pretty good..my husband and 1 yr old son absolutely loved it though. I finally have a way for my son to eat green beans! Like some of the other reviewers I used instant potatoes and added mushrooms to the meat mix--although I think I'll leave the mushrooms out next time since what I didn't like about this was the flavor of the mushrooms.

WOW...my kids gobbled this up. I don't use tomato soup so I pureed some canned stewed tomatoes instean and since they don't like green beans I used canned corn. It was great and I'll be making this again!

Great recipe with a few alterations: I added 4 cloves of garlic, some basil, and some frozen corn. Used one can tomato soup, one can cream of mushroom. I greased the bottom of baking dish and put frozen crispy crowns (tator tots) on the bottom of the dish. Used instant mashed potatoes for the top. Brother liked it. Thanks for the recipe!
