LIDL started American week this Thursday. The advertising leaflet had Tater Tots as one of the items on sale.
We have Kroketten here in Germany. They are bigger and without added cheese or chili. They are served as a side dish with all kinds of meat dishes that have a good amount of sauce.
I saw several YT videos and they served this kind of casserole on pot lucks, church events and parties. Preparing a large casserole serves a lot of people.
The recipe called for Campbell Cream of Mushroom Soup. That is not available here in supermarkets. I checked the isle of canned food and found two different mushroom soups. One was a cream soup with Chanterelle mushrooms, the other had Porccini mushrooms as the base flavor. I went for the Chanterelles.
And I used fresh green beans. I am no fan of canned green beans. And I added some leftover King Oyster mushrooms and a long green Turkish hot pepper to the beef.
Recipe for 2:
400 g beef mince, 1 white onion, 4 cloves of garlic, 1 tsp oil, salt and pepper, thyme
150 g King Oyster mushrooms, 1 hot green pepper, 200 g green beans
1/2 can cream of mushroom soup, 70 g Cheddar grated, 400 g frozen Tater Tots
Top and tail the beans and cook them until just softened, drain in ice water.
Chop onion, garlic, green pepper and mushrooms.
Start the beef mince in a little oil in the pan. When it starts to get color, add the onion. After a couple of minutes, add the other veggies, season and cook for 10 - 15 min. Beef schould be brown.
Preaheat the oven 180 C fan.
Use a oven proof casserole and put the beef mix on the bottom. Pour 1/2 can of soup over. Add the green beans on top. Now sprinkle with cheese. The tater tots go on last. Press them a little in the mix.
Bake for 35 min.
