Tater Tot Hot Dish

It has been resurrected from all those high school lunch lines. We were talking about it recently and we admitted that it was one of our favorite school lunches. I looked for a recipe but could not find one, so I winged it. It turned out pretty awesome.

1 pound hamburger
1 large onion, chopped
1 can French style green beans, drained
2 cans low salt cream of mushroom soup
½ Cup Milk
Salt and Pepper to taste
Enough tater tots to cover the casserole
Brown the hamburger on medium heat, drain excess fat. Return pan to heat and add onions, sauté for about 3 minutes or until onions are tender-crisp. Turn the heat down and add the green beans, mushroom soup, and milk. Stir well, add pepper and salt to taste, heat until warm. Place mixture in a 9” X 13” pan and cover neatly with tater tots, line them up next to each other in rows. Heat for 30-45 minutes in 425 degree oven. Remove from oven when the tater tots are nicely brown and the sauce is bubbly. Let sit for 10 minutes and serve.

Note: D. this is for you! I've fallen in love with it all over again.
