Tuna and Green Bean Casserole Topped With Mashed Potatoes

This is one of my comfort foods. It is really good. My grandmother used to make this during Lent. She is catholic. On Fridays during Lent, you are supposed to avoid eating meat. It is a quick, inexpensive meal to serve. My husband devours this casserole. Enjoy! Show more
