Ingredients
  

1 lb ground beef

1 medium onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 can (15 oz) green beans, drained

1 can (15 oz) corn, drained

1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup tater tots or potato rounds

1 tsp paprika

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

Optional: 1/2 cup diced bell peppers or any favorite veggies

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef with the diced onion and minced garlic. Cook until the beef is no longer pink, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Drain any excess grease.

      Stir in the green beans, corn, cream of mushroom soup, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add bell peppers or any other veggies at this point if using. Mix everything until well combined.

        Transfer the beef and vegetable mixture into a greased 9x13 inch casserole dish.

          Evenly spread the tater tots or potato rounds over the top of the mixture.

            Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden and crispy.

              Remove the casserole from the oven, and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top. Return it to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

                Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious Hobo Casserole!
