Tatertot Casserole

This is probably the most loved dish by my kids I think.  Even my picky Autistic boy loves this (who never likes his food combined together) It's very easy and yummy! This recipe (with a change I made) comes from a family cookbook so I'm not sure where she got it from.  There are a lot of variations out there of this casserole. This one is the one we love!



Ingredients

1 bag of tatertots
1 can of mushroom soup
1 small onion, chopped
minced garlic -about a heaping tsp or however much you like. (optional)
1 can of evaporated milk
1 lb of lean ground beef
A bunch of frozen veggies (we use about 2 cups of the peas, carrots, green bean combo)
Seasoning salt -couple of shakes
Grated cheese for on top.

Directions

1. Cook tatertots according to package-nice and crispy.
2. While tatertots are cooking brown meat and onion in frying pan. Add soup and milk to the meat and stir well to combined. Add veggies and simmer 5-10 mins (to speed this up I usually microwave the frozen veggies for a bit before I put them in)
3. Pour meat mixture into a 9x13 pan and top with cooked tatertots. Cover with grated cheese to your liking and place in 350 degree over until cheese is melted.

My husband and I like to top ours with some hot sauce :)
