How to make The BEST Tater Tot Casserole

Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 375 degrees F. Using cooking spray, lightly grease an 8 x 9-inch baking dish and set aside.

Step 2: In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat until brown. When done, drain the excess grease.

Step 3: To the ground beef in the skillet, add the onions. Cook for another 4 to 5 minutes, stirring often until translucent. Then, add the garlic and cook for a minute more until aromatic, stirring often. Next, stir in the Worcestershire sauce. To taste, season with salt and pepper.

Step 4: Into the prepared baking dish, transfer and evenly spread the ground beef mixture. On top, add the cream of mushrooms, then the green beans and cheddar cheese. Do not forget to season the green bean layer. Scatter the tater tops on top.

Step 5: Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 35 to 40 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the tater tots are golden brown.

Step 6: Remove from the oven when done and serve the casserole right away. Enjoy!
