You may know this casserole by another name (Tater Tot casserole). This family favorite is loaded with meat, potatoes, beans and cheese. It’s impossible to go wrong, and it’s almost impossible to have leftovers, too!
What I love about this dish is how easy it is to put together. In less than 10 minutes, you can brown your meat, throw everything into a casserole dish and enjoy a homemade meal 30 minutes later. The flavors melt together, resulting in a delicious and homey-tasting meal. This is a perfect dish for a family dinner when it’s snowing outside.
