In order to keep this healthy, we use hamburger from our own grass-fed, organic beef cows. I also use raw cheese if I can. You really just have to find the tater tots that meet your nutrition/health requirements. This dinner is not light in calories, but it's good, and the kids love it. (Bear in mind that this recipe feeds my family of 7 big eaters.)
Tater Tot Casserole
16 oz frozen or fresh green beans
2 lb ground beef
1 onion
1 c. mushrooms, chopped small
1/2 c. flour
2-1/2 c. milk or milk/cream mixture
1 t. sea salt
1/2 t. ground pepper
2-3 c. shredded cheese
1-32 oz. package tater tots
Steam or microwave green beans for about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, brown meat and onion together. Season as you like (I use garlic salt.) When meat is browned, add chopped mushrooms and cook slightly. Sprinkle flour over beef, and stir to incorporate. Mix in milk, salt and pepper, and cook until thick. Stir in cooked green beans. Pour meat/green bean mixture into a 10x15 baking dish. Sprinkle cheese on top and layer tater tots over all. Bake in a 350 oven for 45 minutes.
