Simple Recipe




This recipe is from Simple and Delicious. I'm not much of a cook so to post it means it's good!! It's quick to make, tastes great-even reheated- and uses basic ingredients.


The recipe is called Beef and Tater Bake. It calls for 25 min prep time and 25 min bake time.
Ingredients needed are:


4 cups frozen Tater Tots

1 lb. ground beef

1 pkg. (16 oz) frozen chopped broccoli, thawed. (**I do not like frozen veggies especially broccoli so I use a head of fresh broccoli chopped up**)

1 can (10-3/4 oz) condensed cream of broccoli soup, undiluted

1 medium tomato, chopped

1 can (2.8 oz) french-fried onions, divided (lots of coupons for this item!)

1 cup (4 oz) shredded colby-monterey jack cheese, divided

1/3 cup 2% milk

1/4 tsp garlic powder

1/8 tsp pepper

**Place tater tots in an ungreased 13 in x 9 in baking dish. Bake, uncovered at 400 degrees for 10 minutes


**Meanwhile, in large skillet (I use a wok pan), cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink, drain. Stir in broccoli, soup, tomato, 3/4 cup french-fried onions, 1/2 cup cheese, milk, garlic powder, and pepper. Heat through and pour over tater tots.


**Cover and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover, sprinkle with remaining cheese and onions. Bake 5-10 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.


Yield: 12 servings.
