Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1.25 lb ground beef
- 1 tbsp olive oil if pan is lean, for browning
- 1 cup diced yellow onion
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms optional
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 21 oz condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1.25 tsp kosher salt to taste
- 0.75 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 tsp paprika optional
- 2 cup frozen cut green beans
- 2 cup shredded cheddar cheese divided
- 30 oz frozen tater tots
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley for serving, optional
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Warm a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil if needed, then brown the beef.
- Drain excess fat. Stir in onion and mushrooms; cook until softened, about 4–5 minutes.
- Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Whisk in soup, milk, Worcestershire, salt, pepper, and paprika. Simmer 2 minutes to thicken slightly.
- Fold in green beans and half the cheddar. Remove from heat.
- Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared dish.
- Arrange tater tots in a snug, even layer on top.
- Bake until bubbling and the tots are golden and crisp, 35–40 minutes.
- Scatter remaining cheddar over the tots. Bake 5 minutes to melt.
- Rest 5 minutes. Finish with parsley and serve warm.
Notes
Variation ideas: Swap green beans for frozen mixed vegetables, or use condensed cream of chicken soup. Sprinkle a pinch of cayenne or add diced jalapeños for heat. To make ahead, assemble up to the tots, cover, and refrigerate 24 hours; add 5–10 minutes to the bake time. Leftovers reheat well in a 350°F oven until hot and crisp.
