**The Bestest & Easiest Tater-Tot Casserole**

"I make this all the time for my kids"...

1- 1 1/2 pkg. tater tots (just enough to completely fill in a single layer of the bottom of a baking pan, not cookie sheet!! Also depending on size of your baking pan)

1 can corn

2 Lg. can (about 14-15oz.) cream of mushroom (family size)

1 bunch green onions, chopped

1 medium onion, chopped

2-3lb. ground beef

black pepper & salt/seasoned salt (optional)

Cheese - of your choice (I use the pre-shredded Kraft mexican cheese)

directions:

Preheat oven to the directed heat for tater-tots

1.) Add ground beef to a deep skillet or pot with the onions. Season with pepper and salt or seasoned salt until fully cooked then add the corn. Cook for about 5 minutes on medium (just to soften up the corn a little) then drain oil completely. Return to stove and add the green onions. Stir then add the cream of mushroom to the ground beef mixture until fully incorporated and heated then set aside.

2.) Place the tater tots in a single layer in a baking pan. You may add extra for a thicker base which I do. Put it in the oven and bake only for about 15 minutes. Don't fully bake the tater tots through. You want it to be "AL-DENTE" or half baked.

3.) Once tater tots are ready, spread the ground beef mixture evenly atop the tater tots. Shake it a little to allow it to seep through the crevices of the tater tots. Spread the shredded cheese evenly across the top of the casserole and cover with foil. Allow to bake just until the cheese has melted then turn off.

4.) Let cool for about 15 minutes so the casserole can settle and enjoy!! Wha-La!!

Answer 4

You get casseroles and casseroles.

Now the casserole recipe you are looking for is probably a stew type of casserole. Not so?

All right.

Make this easy.

Stir fry some diced onions and 1/2 a diced green pepper in some cooking oil.

Then add cubed potato bits and keep stirring.

When potatoes turn "glassy" add salt, a bit of mixed spice and some cubed beef.

Turn down the heat and cover with a lid so tat the meat can simmer.

Keep an eye on things, adding a little water all the time to prevent the meat from burning.

Keep it simmering until meat is tender. Cheaper cuts of beef may take longer.

Before turning off the heat, simply mix some mushroom soup powder with a little cold water and add that to the stew.

Stir until sauce is thickened.

Serve hot on rice.

Answer 5

Here's one that I am actually going to make myself, today! I don't use measurements, so I will try to be as precise as I can!

This can either be made into a goulash or just a stew and can be cooked on the stove or in the oven (I just do mine on the hob).

Ingredients:

Two large carrots

Two large parsnips

Five or six medium sized potatoes

Swede or Turnip

Two large onions

Couple of cloves garlic

Meat (doesn't matter what kind, but needs to be chopped into smallish pieces)

400g tin of tomatoes

Touch of red wine (if you have it)

Stock (I use Bisto gravy granules and Oxos)

Extra water if needed

Cooking:

Add a little oil to a heavy and large frying pan and then fry off onions. Add meat and fry until slightly browned and then add garlic and fry for a minute or so. Add ALL other vegetables (and you can omit or add from the list above, to your preference), tomatoes, stock (use however much you need - if you like a runnier sauce, use more stock), salt and pepper and any dried herbs of your choice. If you want to make a goulash, just add paprika as well and one extra can of tomatoes. Cook on the hob for about two hours, until the potatoes are soft. Serve with crusty bread.

This makes a huge pan and there is always plenty leftover for the next day!
