This recipe came from a church cookbook, so I have no way of knowing whether it came from another source, or if this was someone's own creation. Regardless, it has been a family favorite ever since. Make sure you thaw the broccoli first, so it gets cooked enough. Otherwise, you will end up with cold, half-frozen broccoli in your casserole. (Ask me how I know . . . ) Ingredients:
4 cups frozen tater tots (i buy crispy crowns , which are like flat, disc-shaped tater tots.) |
1 lb ground beef |
10 ounces frozen broccoli, thawed |
1 (2 7/8 ounce) can french-fried onions |
1 medium tomato, chopped |
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can cream of celery soup |
1/3 cup milk |
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded |
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder |
1/8 teaspoon black pepper |
Directions:
1. Place potatoes on bottom and sides of a 9 x 13 casserole dish. Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes.
2. Brown ground beef and drain. Place beef, broccoli, 1/2 can onions and tomatoes in potato shell. Combine soup, milk, 1/2 cup cheese and seasonings and pour over beef mixture. Bake, covered, for 20 minutes, at 400 degrees Fahrenhiet.
3. Top with remaining cheese and onions. Bake uncovered 2-3 minutes longer, until cheese is melted.
