Ingredients

1 lb lean ground beef
½ onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 can (15 oz) green beans, drained
1 can (10.75 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
2 cups frozen tater tots
Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Preheat & Prepare:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease an 8x8-inch or 9x9-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Cook the Beef Mixture:

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 4–5 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Mix in the Worcestershire sauce, then season with salt and pepper to taste.

Assemble the Casserole:

Spread the cooked beef mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Layer the cream of mushroom soup on top, spreading it evenly.
Add a layer of drained green beans and season lightly.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the green beans.
Finally, arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer on top.

Bake & Serve:

Bake for 35–40 minutes or until the tater tots are crispy and golden brown, and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
Tip: For extra crunch, broil the casserole for the last 2–3 minutes of baking.
