Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium, diced onion
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 3 cups, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces green beans
• 1 10.5-ounce can cream of mushroom soup
• 1 cup sour cream
• 0.5 cup milk
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 3 cups frozen tater tots
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it into small pieces with a spatula, about 6-8 minutes.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until the onion is soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Season the beef mixture with salt, pepper, and paprika. Stir well to combine, then remove from heat.

Step 5

While the beef cooks, bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.

Step 6

In a large bowl, mix the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, and milk until smooth. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, then add the cooked green beans and ground beef mixture, folding everything together gently.

Step 7

Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 8

Arrange the tater tots in an even layer over the top of the casserole.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy, and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.

Step 10

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your hearty hamburger and green bean casserole!
