Green Bean Tater Tot Casserole

The first time I made this for a family potluck it disappeared in minutes. It has since become Grandma’s special request every Thanksgiving.

Ingredients

Condensed cream of mushroom soup: Gives depth and creamy texture Choose a good quality brand for the best flavor
Whole milk: Helps loosen the soup and keeps it rich Use fresh milk for smooth results
Salt: Brings all the ingredients together Choose kosher salt for balanced seasoning
Black pepper: Adds gentle heat and earthiness Freshly ground pepper offers the best aroma
Garlic powder: Infuses savory notes Make sure your garlic powder is fragrant and not clumpy
Onion powder: Lends extra depth to the overall flavor Choose a fresh fine powder for best integration
Canned cut green beans: Are tender and keep things easy Opt for no salt added beans and drain well
Frenchs fried onions: Add the signature crispy onion kick Buy fresh for ultimate crunch
Shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese blend: Melts beautifully and adds rich flavor Shred from a block if possible for gooey texture
Frozen tater tots: Crisp up perfectly on top Arrange straight from the freezer so they hold their shape
