- 1 pound Ground Beef Or Turkey
- 1 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper (Optional)
- 1 Tablespoon Garlic Powder
- 1 Tablespoon Onion Powder
- 2 cans (14.5 Oz. Can) Cut Green Beans, Drained
- 2 cans (10.75 Oz. Can) Cream Of Mushroom Soup
- 2 cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- 1 bag (32 Oz. Bag) Tater Tots
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- In a skillet, brown meat.
- Once browned, drain off fat.
- Add cayenne, garlic and onion powder.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- While meat is browning, dump green beans and mushroom soup into a 9x13 casserole dish.
- Add browned meat and mix everything together.
- Spread it evenly in the pan.
- Sprinkle cheddar cheese over the meat/veggie/soup mixture.
- Spread tater tots over the top of the casserole.
- Try to distribute them evenly.
- Bake the casserole for about 25 minutes, until the tater tots are crispy and fabulous.
- Options: A small/medium onion and about 3 cloves of garlic can be browned with the meat instead of using the powdered version.
- Its a matter of your convenience.
- When I use ground turkey in this recipe, Ill saute some button or crimini mushrooms with spinach and roasted red peppers, and use Monterey Jack cheese.
- The sky is really the limit when it comes to variations.
