6. 6

   Add green beans next, and repeat cheese & onion layers.

8. 8

   Spread mashed potatoes over top of casserole.

    Hints: if this is too bland, some suggestions to spice it up: try adding garlic, worcestershire sauce and other spices when browning beef. Add paprika and garlic powder to the potatoes while mixing. Use jalapeno cheese.
