Ingredients
•
2 tablespoons olive oil
•
2 cups chopped yellow onion
•
1 pound ground chuck beef (80% lean)
•
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
•
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
•
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
•
2 (10 1/2 ounce) cans condensed cream of mushroom soup
•
2 cups frozen cut green beans, thawed
•
2 cups frozen sweet corn, thawed
•
1 1/2 pounds frozen tater tots
•
1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt (such as Lawry's®)
•
1/2 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
•
2 small scallions, thinly sliced
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C)
2
Set a large deep cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and swirl to coat skillet evenly. Add onions to skillet in one even layer; top with ground beef, breaking it up into small pieces. Cook undisturbed until onions are translucent, about 2 minutes. Stir beef and onions until well combined, and cook until beef is cooked through and browned, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes longer.
3
Reduce heat to medium. Season beef with garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Cook, stirring often, for 1 more minute. Remove from heat. Add cream of mushroom soup, green beans, and corn; stir until well combined.
4
Toss tater tots and seasoned salt in a bowl to combine. Arrange tater tots decoratively over beef mixture in the skillet, avoiding large gaps between tots.
5
Bake in the preheated oven until tater tots are golden and crisp, about 1 hour. Sprinkle with cheese and scallions; cool 10 minutes before serving. Recipe developed by Amanda Stanfield
