Tater Tot Casserole

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

2. 2

   In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion until the beef is browned and the onion is soft, about 8-10 minutes. Break up the meat with a spoon as it cooks. Drain off all excess grease.

3. 3

   Stir the minced garlic into the skillet and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Reduce the heat to medium.

4. 4

   Add the condensed cream of mushroom soup, milk, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to the beef mixture. Stir until well combined and heated through. Gently fold in the thawed and drained green beans.

5. 5

   Pour the beef mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it into an even layer. Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer on top.

6. 6

   Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, until the filling is hot and bubbly. Carefully remove from the oven, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the tater tots, and return to the oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden.

7. 7

   Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows it to set, making it easier to serve.
