Tater Tot Casserole:

Tater Tot Casserole:
a family favorite
1 lb lean ground beef. (Be sure you know where your beef comes from. No I don't mean what store. Too many hormones in the meat these days. We try to get in on when someone we know is having a beef butchered. Tastes WAYYY Better)
1/2 C onion chopped (this is equal to 1 small/medium oinon)
salt and pepper to taste (in place of salt we like to use Braggs Liquid Aminos)
1 tbs ground cumin (gives it a smokey flavor)
1 Can green beans drained
1 Can Cream of Mushroom Soup
1 soup can of milk (raw whole milk is best- you can taste the difference) or beef broth can be substituted.
1 C Cheese (we use either a smoked raw milk cheddar from our local dairy or their sharp cheddar. They don't use dyes or preservatives)
In a skillet, brown the meat and onion. Add the liquid aminos/ salt, pepper, and cumin now ; drain (if you use lean meat you can skip the draining) Place the meat and oinon mixture in a greased 2 quart casserole dish. Top with the green beans. Combine the soup and milk/ beef broth in a bowl and pour over the green beans. Top with tater tots in one even layer. Bake at 350 for 40 minutes. The last 10 minutes of baking time sprinkle on your cheese. We never have leftovers with this one!!!!
