Vegetable Recipe ❘ Marianne's Hot Dish

This is a twist on Tater Tot® hot dish. This is an easy recipe to personalize. You can use any ground meat or a mixture of beef and pork. I often use smoked Gouda cheese, Havarti cheese, and I bet Swiss cheese would be good, too. The vegetable can be easily switched to any vegetable you like (string beans, broccoli, or mixed veggies). I would use fresh or frozen rather than canned if you can.

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• ½ onion, minced
• 3 large cloves garlic, minced
• 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
• 1 (8 ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms
• 1 (8 ounce) package fresh sugar snap peas
• 5 slices American cheese, or more to taste
• 1 ½ cups frozen diced southern-style hash brown potatoes, or more to taste

Cooking Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef, onion, and garlic in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer ground beef mixture, using a slotted spoon, to a 2-quart casserole dish; retain drippings in the skillet.
3. Spread cream of mushroom soup over ground beef mixture.
4. Cook and stir mushrooms in the beef drippings over medium heat until tender and browned, 5 to 10 minutes; spread over soup layer in casserole dish.
5. Arrange snap peas over mushroom layer; cover with American cheese slices. Layer potatoes over cheese.
6. Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and potatoes are browned and crisp, about 1 hour.
