Equipment
- 8 or 9-inch baking dish

Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 0.5 medium onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 can green beans 15-ounce, drained (opt for low-sodium)
- 1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup 10.75-ounce, opt for low-sodium/healthy version
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 cups frozen tater tots
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray an 8 or 9-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the lean ground beef until it's no longer pink. Drain all excess fat.
- Add the diced onion to the skillet with the beef and cook for 4-5 minutes until soft and clear. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Mix in the Worcestershire sauce with the beef and onion. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Transfer the seasoned beef mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Spread the low-sodium cream of mushroom soup evenly over the beef.
- Distribute the drained green beans over the soup layer, seasoning with a little salt and pepper. Top everything with the shredded cheddar cheese, then arrange the frozen tater tots neatly on top.
- Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let the casserole cool for a few minutes after baking before serving. Enjoy!
