“I prefer chuck because it doesn’t leave a lot of fat.  I normally season my meat while it’s cooking.”

 

1     pound ground beef or chuck

2     tablespoons olive oil

1     can cream of mushroom soup (I prefer Campbell’s)

1     bag tater tots

1     can green beans* (7-ounce or 14-ounce)

2-3 cups shredded cheese

˝   cup diced onions

˝   cup diced bell pepper

* You can substitute a can of whole kernel corn for the green beans

 

Heat olive oil in medium to large skillet.  Sauté onions and bell peppers until tender.  Add ground beef or chuck.  After the meat is done, drain excess fat.  Fold in the mushroom soup and green beans or corn.  Preheat oven to 375-degrees.  Smooth out mixture in a baking pan.  Add tater tots and arrange in a row or circle.  Sprinkle on cheese.  Bake for 25 minutes or until brown.
