Meat: Beef

This dish combines kid favorites of hamburger, tomato sauce, mashed potatoes and
cheese...and what the heck, you even squeak in some green beans.

2 cups leftover mashed potatoes
2 eggs, separated
dash of salt
2 tbsp. butter, divided
1 pound ground beef
salt and pepper
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 8 oz. can tomato sauce
1 `16 oz can  sliced green beans, drained
1 C grated cheddar cheese

Heat 1 tbsp. of the butter in a skillet and brown the onions. Add the ground beef and
brown. Drain and return to skillet. Season with the salt and pepper and add the tomato
sauce and green beans. Stir to blend. Lightly grease a 9 inch square pan. Add the meat
and green bean combination to the pan. 
Add the egg yolks to the prepared mashed potatoes. Beat the egg whites with the dash of
salt until stiff and fold into the potatoes. Spread over the meat mixture. Sprinkle with
cheese and dot with remaining butter. Bake at 400 degrees for 35 minutes or until nicely
browned and bubbly.
