Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground beef, 80/20 or leaner Browned for savory depth and protein.
  • 1 can (15 oz) green beans, drained Adds a tender, slightly crisp vegetable element and color.
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup Provides the creamy, mushroom-flavored sauce that binds the filling.
  • 1/2 cup milk Thins the condensed soup into a smooth, saucy consistency.
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese Melts over the filling for richness and a cheesy finish.
  • 1 bag (32 oz) frozen Tater Tots Forms the crispy, golden potato topping.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder Gives a mellow garlic flavor without chopping fresh garlic.
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder Adds savory onion notes to round out the sauce.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Position a rack in the center of the oven for even baking.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Break the meat into small pieces as it cooks, then drain any excess fat.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the cooked beef with drained green beans, cream of mushroom soup, milk, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir until evenly coated and the soup and milk form a smooth sauce.
  4. Spread the mixture evenly in a 9×13 inch baking dish. Smooth the top so the Tater Tots will sit evenly.
  5. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top and arrange Tater Tots in a single layer. Place the tots close together to form a continuous golden crust.
Cooking
  1. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until Tater Tots are golden brown and filling is bubbly. Tent the dish loosely with foil if the tots are browning too quickly.
  2. Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving to let the filling set.

Notes

For extra crispy Tater Tots, bake them on a separate sheet for 10 minutes before placing them on the casserole, then finish baking assembled. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for 3 to 4 days. To freeze: assemble unbaked in a freezer-safe dish, freeze for up to 2 months. Bake from frozen, adding extra time.
