Default Dinner casserole

Tonight's dinner is loosely based on a casserole that I made before. We
really liked that one.

This started with a pound of grass fed, organic ground beef. It was browned
and the following chopped vegetables were added: Zucchini, carrots, celery.
This was put in a baking dish along with cooked green beans and a chopped
onion. A small portion was put in a small casserole for the dog. No onion in
his.

Then a layer of cream of mushroom soup, thinned down with milk.

Then a layer of thinly sliced potatoes.

Then another layer of the soup.

Seasonings were salt, pepper and parsley.

Bake at 350 for 1-1.5 hours or until potatoes are done. Dog's casserole is
small and has very few potatoes so it's done already. I did cover his with
foil but did not cover the larger one.

Top with shredded cheese once the potatoes are done and put back in oven
until the cheese melts. I used a medium cheddar.

I can see this recipe being changed up quite easily. You could use a white
sauce, gravy or probably even tomato sauce for the cream soup, or even
change the type of soup. Different veggies could be added. Would be a great
way to use up leftover veggies instead of putting them in soup which is what
I usually do. I should imagine that other meats would work well in this too.

It's very good!
