For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a clove of minced garlic to the ground beef while it's cooking. You can substitute other vegetables for the green beans, such as peas, corn, or mixed vegetables. For a creamier mashed potato topping, add a tablespoon of butter and a splash of milk or cream while mashing. If you don't have condensed tomato soup on hand, you can use a can of tomato sauce or crushed tomatoes, seasoned with Italian herbs and a pinch of sugar. To prevent the mashed potatoes from browning too quickly, you can brush them with a little melted butter or milk before baking.
