I'm not a fan of tater tots,they always seem to have a freezer burn taste to me. But throw those hashbrown patties and i'd be all over it.

Browned ground beef and onions on the bottom. Green beans on top of that. Cream of mushroom soup on top of that. Tater tots as the top layer. |

Bring the beef to a simmer then add the frozen peas and carrots. Stir to combine with the filling and to defrost slightly. Pour the filling into a 9? x 13? casserole dish that’s been sprayed with cooking spray. Add the frozen tater tots on top of the beef filling, arranging in a single layer. Bake for 35 minutes until the tater tots are golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Username checks out. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I'd just use 97/3 extra lean ground beef and skip adding extra salt. That shit by default is going to be salty enough. Swapping the tater tots for frozen shredded hash browns will cut some salt. I could DIY my own beef gravy from home-made salt free stock and a simple roux. DH has hypertension so I have learned to make low/no salt versions of these dishes. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: so shepherd's pie without the mashed potatoes? Pretty much, Its even better if you use the mini tots, cause they get crisper, and about 5 minutes before its duento.fome out, throw on 3 cups of extra sharp cheddar and hit it with the broiler |
