INGREDIENTS
1 pound ground beef
1 10 ounce can cream of mushroom soup
1 10 ounce can of peas
1 32 ounce bag of tater tots
2 cups of cheddar cheese
1 white onion
1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 350∞ F.
Cook your ground beef in a large saucepan on medium heat for 6 minutes.
Dice your white onion and add it to your beef. Cook for 6 more minutes or until the beef has browned and is cooked all the way through.
Strain out excess fat from your saucepan.
Spread browned beef and onions in the bottom of a casserole dish (About 10x 16 ).
Drain the water from your can of peas and then spread them evenly on top of the beef.
In a separate bowl, stir together thecream of mushroom soup with your garlic powder.
Pour soup mixture evenly on top of the peas and beef in your casserole dish.
Sprinkle cheddar cheese across the top of the casserole so that it forms an even layer on top of your ingredients.
Add tater tots on top of the layer of cheese. Make sure you arrange them evenly, covering the entire casserole because this is going to be your crust. It is also helpful for serving purposes to arrange the tater tots in an even grid.
Place dish in the oven and bake for 50 minutes, or until the tater tots begin to turn golden brown.
Let cool and enjoy!
