Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 9X13 pan
• 1 1/2 -2 lbs ground meat
• can of condensed soup
• can of vegetables drained
• grated cheese (optional)
• tater tots

1. Pat ground meat into bottom of 9X13" pan. No thicker than 1/2 inch deep to allow for complete cooking in 60 minutes at 350 degrees. Ground meat may be beef, turkey, or sausage.

2. Choose a coordinating can of "cream of" soup. I prefer cream of mushroom or cream of mushroom and garlic. Sometimes I use a nacho cheese soup. Spoon right from can over meat and spread on top of the meat.

3. Take a can of vegetables and drain off the liquid. Put the vegetable on top of the soup layer. I have used corn, mixed vegetable, green beans or what ever seems to go with what I have put together.

4. This step is optional. You may add shredded cheese of your choosing to this layer on top of the vegetables.

5. The last layer is a layer of tater tots frozen right from the bag. Put them on in any design.

6. Oven should be pre-heated to 350 degrees. Bake the hot dish for 60 minutes or longer if tater tots aren't brown. It is important to let this dish cool for 5 minutes before cutting and serving.
