Tater Tot Casserole

1 bag of tater tots

1 1/2 lb. hamburger

1 head of broccoli – chopped up – more or less depending on you liking of broccoli – can substitute frozen chopped broccoli

1 can Durkee onions

2 tomatoes

1/2 cup chopped onion (more or less depending on what you like)

2 cans cream of mushroom soup

1 can (soup can) of milk

2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese (more of less)

1/4 tsp. garlic powder

1/4 tsp. pepper

Place tater tots in the bottom and up the sides of 9×13 pan. Bake, uncovered, at 400 degrees for 10 mins. Brown hamburger and drain. Place browned hamburger, broccoli, onion and tomatoes layered in the tater tot “shell”. Combine soup, milk, 1 cup cheese and seasonings. Pour over the top of the tater tot mixture. Bake, covered, at 400 degrees for 30-45 minutes. Top with more cheese and Durkee onions. Bake, uncovered, until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Note: Sometimes this dish takes longer than 30 minutes to heat all the way through. After you’ve cooked it once or twice you’ll know a little better how much time it probably needs.  If you use frozen broccoli, less time is needed.
