Ingredients
- 1½ lb 90% lean ground beef
- 32 oz frozen tater tots
- 1 can (10.5 oz) reduced-sodium cream of mushroom soup
- 2 cups frozen green beans
- 1 cup frozen corn
- 1 count yellow onion
- 1½ cups shredded cheddar
- ½ cup milk
- 1 tbsp worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Steps
- Heat the oven to 375°F.
- Brown the beef and diced onion in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 8 minutes until it reaches 160°F; drain the fat and season with salt, pepper, and Worcestershire.
- Stir in the soup, milk, green beans, and corn, then spread in a 9x13 dish and sprinkle with 1 cup cheddar.
- Line up the frozen tater tots in rows over the top.
- Bake 30 minutes until the tots are crisp, add the remaining cheese, and bake 5 more minutes.
- Picky eaters can have the tots and plain beef with a little cheese, and leave out the green beans and corn.
