How to Make Mom's Tangy Beef Casserole

  1. Boil 2 lbs potatoes until tender enough for mashing. Peel and mash with 1/4 cup butter and 1/2 cup milk (or cream). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  2. In a large skillet, brown 1.5 lbs beef stew meat over medium-high heat. Add 1 green bell pepper (chopped) and 1 red bell pepper (chopped) during browning. Stir in 1/2 cup steak sauce during the last few minutes of browning. Add 1 medium onion (chopped) towards the end and cook until softened.
  3. Drain off excess grease, reserving about 1/4 cup of the pan juices. Transfer the beef mixture to a 9x13 inch casserole dish.
  4. Add 1 (15 ounce) can of kidney beans (drained and rinsed), 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup, and 1 cup frozen corn (optional). Stir to combine.
  5. Spread the mashed potatoes evenly over the beef mixture.
  6. Bake, covered, in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 25 minutes.
  7. Optionally, remove the cover and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes to brown the potatoes.
