Family Recipe: Green Bean Tator Tot Casserole

My Mom is a great cook and this is one of the recipes I remember her making when I was a kid.  It is a great mix of flavors and the perfect casserole to take to someone for a meal or if you want to make two and freeze one for a busy day later that month.  One thing I really love about this meal is that you can use what you have on hand in your pantry or freezer (you don’t have to buy a “special” type of green beans, hashbrowns, or cheese) to make it tasty!

Green Bean Casserole

• 2 lbs Hamburger, browned
• 1 can Mushrooms (optional)
• 1 pkg Shredded Cheese (Mozzarella or Cheddar or Mix)
• 2 to 3 cans Cream of Mushroom Soup
• 1 pkg frozen Hashbrowns or Tator Tots
• 3 cans Green Beans (any style)

Brown the hamburger then add the mushroom soup and canned mushrooms.  Stir and place on the bottom of a casserole dish.  Then layer the green beans on top of the meat mixture.  Spread the hashbrowns over the top of the green beans.  Sprinkle shredded cheese over the hashbrowns.  Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes to an hour.  Until cheese is golden.
