Beef and Green Bean Pie With Squash and Potato Topping

"To save time the ground beef/bean filling can be prepared in advance and refrigerated. I like to add in a couple of tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese into the ground beef filling, but that is only optional. This is an amazing ground beef recipe, and one you will really enjoy!"

  1. I called this Shepherd's Pie's Fancy Pants Cousin. This was definately good. The kids loved it. It was a lot of work, though. A good Sunday dinner. I bet you could make this vegetarian with portabellas and it would be good.
