Of course you have!
In such a situation I often find myself going to one of my fall back recipes such as Tater Tot Casserole. Now this is something I learned from my mom, she didn't really have a recipe and neither do I usually but tonight I actually kept track of what I put in it so I could share it with you wonderful people. So here goes.
Ingredients
1/2 med. onion chopped
1 tbsp. butter
1 lb. ground beef
3 c. cooked rice (3 cups measured before its cooked)
2 cans cream of mushroom soup
1 Bag frozen Tater Tots
Cheddar Cheese
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
First chop the onion into small pieces and put in pan with butter and saute until they are see through. In same pan add ground beef and cook until all the meat is browned. While cooking I like to season the meat with Natures Seasoning as it is my personal favorite seasoning but salt and pepper would suffice. While the hamburger is cooking start cooking the rice per directions on rice. (1 c. water to 1/2 c. rice is the norm) After rice and meat are cooked combine in casserole dish with cans of cream of mushroom soup. Mix well. Cover rice mixture with tater tots and put in oven. Bake for approximately 35 minutes or until tater tots are browning and a little crispy on top. Take out of oven grate cheese over tater tots and place back in oven for 5-10 minutes to melt.
My kids love this and they can be fairly picky AND leftover are always a bonus.
So start to finish you spend about 15 minutes in actual prep work and 40-45 minutes from starting to actual dinner time. I hope you enjoy. Have a good night all and God bless.
