Dating back to the 1930s, this dish started out as a starch, meat, and vegetables (macaroni, hamburger, and peas). Like all things great, this casserole, or hotdish, started in the Midwest- Minnesota to be exact. Love easy and cheesy like I do? Check out Cheesy Hash Browns and Mom's Lasagna! Origin No chopping, no peeling, no shredding, just brown the beef and mix it up. What makes this recipe truly great is the simple ingredients. This recipe takes less than one hour- and 30 minutes of that is in the oven! It also has the three main food groups: protein, vegetables, and cheese- you won't even need a side dish! Let's take a moment to appreciate how this is the best weeknight dinner (especially for busy nights). It's cheap, it's easy, it's Tater Tot Casserole. This is why I choose to use lean 93/7 ground beef and add in a little organic grass-fed beef tallow for more flavor.This classic comfort food has a super creamy filling loaded with lots of beef, vegetables, cheese, and is topped off with golden, crispy tater tots. Beef Tallow adds an extra beefy flavor but is a more pure form of beef fat.Be sure to have plenty of Worcestershire Sauce on hand.Lastly, set your oven to broil at 400°f, move the Skillet up, and broil until the Tater Tots are golden brown. Bake the entire Skillet for 35 minutes at 375°f on the bottom rack. Now top the whole thing evenly with frozen tater tots. Top the meat mixture with cream of mushroom soup, then the green beans. Then using a spatula, evenly spread it around the cast iron skillet, making it flat and compact.
Season the meat mixture with a bit of salt and Pepper. But again, unlike making a Philly at home, the tallow isn't necessary for this recipe. By adding tallow, you're getting the taste of beef from a higher-end source. I like the beefy flavor, but only the GOOD beef flavor. Because I use regular ole lean ground beef and strain the meat, it loses some beefy flavor. The tallow is entirely optional, but I will say this. Next, return the ground beef to the Skillet and stir to combine.Īdd the Worcestershire Sauce and Tallow, stirring and cooking until the tallow has melted. Sauté the mixture for about 3-4 minutes or until the garlic becomes fragrant. Place the diced Onion in the same skillet and cook until they begin to brown, then add the garlic. Once the meat has browned, strain the fat and set it aside. At the same time, while the oven is preheating, start by browning the ground beef in a 12" Cast Iron Skillet.
This recipe doesn't take long to prep, so go ahead and get the oven preheating to 375°f.
