• Spread ground beef mixture into a 9x13-inch casserole dish. Spread mashed potatoes evenly over ground beef mixture. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese over the top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until heated through, about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• In a pan, brown hamburger along with onion and pepper.
• Drain.
• Return to pan and add veggies, soup, and 1/2 cup water.
• Stir until well mixed.
• While browning hamburger, in a different pan add 1 1/2 cups water, milk, and butter and bring to boil.
• Then add package of potatoes, and fluff with fork.
• In a greased 2 quart casserole, pour hamburger mixture first.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300°F.
• Combine all ingredients in a baking dish (I use a pyrex mixing bowl) and cover with foil.
• Bake covered for 1 hour and 30 minutes.
• Let sit covered for at least 15 minutes before eating. Even better the next day, after the flavors have developed a bit more.

Steps:

• 1. Have a pie crust prepared.
• 2. Cook over heat all the above ingredients except the vanilla. When the mixture thickens, add vanilla and pour into pie crust.
• 3. Let cool and serve with Cool Whip.

Steps:

• Make mashed potatoes using the 10 potatoes. I boiled my potatoes, drain and then mash wtih butter and milk to a smooth consistency.
• While the potatoes are cooking, brown the ground beef until thoroughly cooked. Drain and rinse off grease.
• Grease a casserole or baking dish with butter or spray with Pam.
• Once potatoes are mashed, line the bottom and sides of the casserole dish with a little under 2/3 of the potatoes. Make it look like a crust.
• Mix together the ground beef and creamed corn. Pour into the casserole as the filling.
• Top the filling with the remaining mashed potatoes, spreading to the sides and having it meet the "crust".
• Bake in a 400 degree oven until the top is lightly browned - about 30 to 45 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Line a large 9-inch pie plate with rolled out pastry dough, prick with a fork and bake for 10 minutes.
• Remove from oven and reduce heat to 350°F.
• In a small bowl, combine sugar, flour and salt.
• Mix well and spread evenly over the bottom of the crust.
• Warm cream in the microwave, (warm, not hot) and then carefully pour the warmed cream over the sugar mixture, completely covering it.
• In bits, dab butter over the cream.
• Bake at 350°F for 45 minutes to an hour, or until golden spots form on the top.
• The filling will seem liquid but will become firmer as it cools.

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 350º.
