Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1/2 cup diced yellow onion
  • 1 (14oz) can green beans, drained

Meat

  • 1 lb ground beef

Other

  • 1 (28oz) bag frozen tater tots
  • 1 (10.75oz) can cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • Salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to get it ready for baking the casserole.
  2. Cook Ground Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and diced yellow onion until the meat is browned and the onions are translucent, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
  3. Mix Ingredients: Stir in the cream of mushroom soup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and garlic powder to the cooked beef mixture until well combined.
  4. Assemble Casserole: In a 9×13 inch baking dish, spread the beef mixture evenly on the bottom. Sprinkle the drained green beans over the beef layer. Next, arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer on top.
  5. Bake: Place the casserole dish in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy.
  6. Add Cheese: Remove the casserole from the oven and evenly sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the tater tots. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
  7. Serve: Let the casserole cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm as a hearty, comforting meal.

Notes

  • You can substitute cream of mushroom soup with cream of chicken or celery soup if preferred.
  • For extra flavor, add diced garlic or green onions to the beef mixture.
  • Use fresh green beans instead of canned if desired; blanch them before adding.
  • Leftover casserole can be stored in the refrigerator for 3-4 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
  • You can double the recipe for larger gatherings, using a bigger casserole dish.
