INGREDIENTS

1 lb. lean moose burger
--(or venison, or beef, or buffalo)
1/2 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (12.5 oz. can) healthy request cream of mushroom condensed soup
½ cup sour cream
1/2 cup milk
2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons low-sodium tamari sauce (aged soy sauce)
½ teaspoon dry mustard
¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/2 pkg. frozen extra crispy ore-ida tater tots
1 (14.5 oz.) can french-cut green beans, drained
1-1/2 cups grated medium cheddar cheese, divided

METHOD

Preheat oven to 400° degrees. Coat a square 9"x9" baking dish with nonstick cooking spray, and set aside.

In a large skillet non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, brown the burger until about ¾’s the way cooked through, and then add the onions, and garlic, and continue to saute until the onions are translucent. Layer meat mixture evenly into prepared baking dish.

In a medium bowl, whisk the condensed soup, sour cream, milk, worcestershire sauce, tamari sauce, dry mustard, and pepper. With a spoon, fold in the drained green beans, and spoon the sauce evenly over the meat mixture in the baking dish. Sprinkle ½ of the shredded cheddar cheese over the sauce mixture. Arrange the frozen tater tots to completely cover top.

Bake, uncovered, for about 45 minutes until tater tots are golden brown and beef mixture is bubbly. Remove from oven, and sprinkle with remaining ½ of shredded cheddar cheese, and continue baking, just until cheese melts for 5 to 10 minutes. Let the casserole stand for 10 minutes, and serve. – Enjoy!
