Very good dinner! I added about 6 dashes of Worstcheshire Sauce for an added steak flavor. Picky husband loved it! Thanks!

This is very similar to a Shepard's Pie recipe we've used for years. I make my ground beef with onions and oregano. In a bundt pan I put the meat, then a 15oz can of tomato sauce, a can of drained green beans, mashed potatoes (I find fake work better than homemade in this case), and lots of cheese. Same cook temp and time.
