Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground beef

• 1 small onion, diced

• 1 can (10.75 oz) cream of mushroom soup

• 1 can (14.5 oz) green beans, drained

• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

• 32 oz frozen tater tots

• Salt and pepper to taste

• Optional: garlic powder, onion powder, hot sauce for added flavor
  
  

Directions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Cook the Beef Mixture:
   In a large skillet, cook the ground beef and diced onion over medium heat until the beef is browned and the onion is translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

3. Combine Ingredients:
   Stir in the cream of mushroom soup, drained green beans, shredded cheddar cheese, and season with salt and pepper. For added flavor, you can include garlic powder, onion powder, or a dash of hot sauce.

4. Assemble the Casserole:
   Spread the beef mixture evenly in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer on top of the beef mixture.

5. Bake:
   Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy.

6. Serve:
   Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together and makes serving easier.
