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.
