- 1 Casserole 2 1/2 Quarts
- 1 Baking Sheet
- 1 Ricer or Potato masher
- 1 Bowl for the Potatoes
- 1 Digital Scale
Ingredients
- 1 lb. Ground Beef
- 2 cans Campbell's Vegetable Soup - 284 ml each
- 1 small Onion - diced
- 2 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 can Corn Kernels - 341 ml with liquid

Buttery Mashed Potatoes
- 700 g Peeled Potatoes
- 1/2 C Cream 10 %
- 2 Tbl Butter
- 1 tsp Butter Popcorn Seasoning
- 1/4 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/8 tsp White Pepper
- 1/8 tsp Cream of Tartar
- To Taste Salt & Pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 F with the rack in middle position and place the steamer on the back burner. Peel the Potatoes and weigh out. Slice in half-length wise, then dice or quarter each half. Wash the Potatoes and then place into the Steamer on the back burner until fork tender, about 15–20 minutes. Don't overcook them, or they will be too soft after the oven, just until fork tender.
- Heat a skillet up over medium high heat and add the Ground Meat with Worcestershire. Brown the ground meat, then add the Onions and cook until translucent.
- Empty 2 cans of Campbell's Vegetable Soup in with 1 can of Corn with the liquids, Garlic Powder & Onion Powder. Continue to cook for 1–2 minutes, mixing well. Adjust the seasoning with Salt & Black Pepper if desired. Empty into a Casserole dish and spread out evenly.
- Combine the Ingredients for the Mashed Potatoes into a bowl and run the Potatoes through a Ricer into the bowl. Mix well, taste and adjust the Salt & Pepper if needed. Top the Casserole and Spread out evenly. Make a cross-hatch on top with a fork.
- Place into the oven on top of a baking sheet to catch any spill over and bake for 25–30 minutes or until the top is golden. Remove and let cool for 15 - 20 minutes before serving.
Notes
Use Campbell's Vegetable Soup. Other brands of Vegetable Soup are not so good.
