Yield 1 casserole, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 (2 lb) package frozen frozen tater tots
1 lb ground turkey or 1 lb ground beef
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans cut green beans
2 (10 3/4 ounce) cans condensed cream of mushroom soup
1/2-1 cup milk
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Steps:

Brown ground turkey (or beef), season to taste (Johnny's Seasoning Salt is very good for this, but salt and pepper will do nicely), drain and set aside.
Heat oven to 425 degrees.
Line the bottom of an 11x13 rectangular baking dish with the frozen tater tots.
Layer the browned ground meat next, then the green beans.
In a bowl or large measuring cup mix the soup and enough milk that when mixed with the soup makes it easy to pour but not excessively runny.
Pour mixture on top of the green beans and spread around to coat the top of the casserole.
Top with the shredded cheddar cheese.
Bake for 30-45 minutes until casserole is bubbly and the cheese is melted and starting to brown.

Cook the green beans properly. Green beans can be cooked in a variety of ways, including boiling, steaming, roasting, and sautéing. The best method will depend on your personal preferences and the other ingredients in your dish.
Season the green beans to taste. Green beans can be seasoned with a variety of herbs, spices, and sauces. Some popular options include salt, pepper, garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil.
Serve the green beans immediately. Green beans are best served fresh and hot. They can be served as a side dish, main course, or appetizer.
