Number Of Ingredients 14

1 lb hamburger, ground Italian sausage or ground turkey, or mixture
1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 medium bell pepper (green, yellow or red, or combo), diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 dash(es) each of onion powder and garlic powder
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce, low sodium
1/2 pkg tater tots (32oz) or enough to make one layer on top
1 can(s) cream of mushroom soup low sodium (condensed), 10.75 oz
1/2 c milk
1/4 c low-fat sour cream
1/2 can(s) corn kernels, low sodium, drained (could also use canned green beans, low sodium)
1 dash(es) seasoned salt and pepper
1 1/2 c shredded colby jack cheese, or your favorite blend
1-2 dash(es) beef bouillon granules

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350° F (175 degrees C).
  • 2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef with the onions, peppers, garlic, onion and garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Drain excess fat, and season with a dash of seasoned salt and pepper to taste. Seasoned salt and pepper will also be used on top, so do not over season.
  • 3. In a small bowl, stir the soup and sour cream into the milk until smooth. Sprinkle a dash or so of beef bouillon into this and whisk to blend. Pour into meat mixture to heat through.
  • 4. Spread the beef mixture evenly over the bottom of a 2 quart casserole dish. Sprinkle corn on top of the meat mixture and sprinkle half of the cheese.
  • 5. Arrange tater tots evenly on top and sprinkle a little seasoning salt and pepper on top of the tots. Sprinkle remaining cheese evenly over the top.
  • 6. Bake in preheated oven covered for 40 minutes. Uncover and continue to cook for an additional 10-15 min, until cheese is bubbly and slightly brown. Tots should be slightly crunchy.

This dish is very versatile. You can add or remove ingredients to suit your taste. I like to add some diced ham or bacon for extra protein.
