INGREDIENTS
1 (16-oz.) package frozen tater tots
1 lb lean ground beef, (I use 88% lean)
1/2 medium yellow onion, diced
1 tsp garlic powder
1 (10.75-oz.) can cream of mushroom soup
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 c. (8-oz.) shredded cheddar cheese
1 (15-oz.) can kernel corn, drained
1 (15-oz.) can green beans, drained
1 tsp kosher salt
How to make Tater Tot Casserole
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees F. Using cooking spray, lightly grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish and set it aside.
Step 2: Add the ground beef to a warm 10-inch large skillet along with the onion, garlic powder, and salt. Cook over medium-high heat until the beef is cooked through, breaking the meat as it cooks using a spatula.
Step 3: Once the ground beef is cooked, add the mushroom soup, green beans, corn, and half cup cheese in the skillet. Stir well.
Step 4: Into the prepared baking dish, spread the bee mixture, then arrange the tater tots in a single layer on top. Sprinkle over the rest of the cheese.
Step 5: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 to 40 minutes or until the tater tots are hot and golden brown.
NOTES:
To ensure the tater tots stay nice and crispy in the oven, keep them in the freezer until right before adding them to the casserole.
Greasing the casserole lightly using a non-stick cooking spray makes the serving of the hamburger casserole easier.
For the best experience, serve this casserole right away.
Store any leftovers in the fridge and consume within 5 days.
