How to Make The Mixture Green Bean Mashed Potato Ground Beef Casserole

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Boil potatoes until tender (about 15-20 minutes).
While potatoes are boiling, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add green beans and cook until tender-crisp (about 5-7 minutes). Drain well.
In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
Add minced garlic (if using) and Worcestershire sauce (if using) to the ground beef and cook for 1 minute more.
Spray a 9x13 inch casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray.
Place the browned ground beef in the bottom of the casserole dish.
Top with 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and half of the sliced onions.
Add the cooked green beans, followed by another cup of shredded cheddar cheese and remaining sliced onions.
Drain the cooked potatoes. Return them to the pot and mash with butter, milk, and garlic powder (if using) until smooth and creamy.
Spread the mashed potatoes evenly over the casserole.
Sprinkle with breadcrumbs and paprika. If desired, add additional paprika and/or jalapeño cheese.
Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let cool slightly before serving. May be prepared in advance, refrigerated, and baked later.
