Cheesy Beefy Tot Topped Casserole

Been busy, trying new recipes!!! This is a keeper! a cheesy delish ground beef casserole with cheese and veggies topped with Green Giant Cauliflower tots and more cheese! This is great for a family weekday dinner throw everything in one pot then pour in a casserole dish and bake. Very filling and hearty.

Now as stated before in my other recipes I do sometimes incorporate canned cream soups. They truly work so well and add great texture, thickness and flavor. In this case I use a can of cheddar cheese soup. You do NOT have to use this you can simply make your own with some cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, heavy cream and salt and pepper. Melt it down and you have the same thing. I did make this LIVE for the first time ever on my Facebook page! Nikki’s Low Carb Cooking. It came out so well AND some of my members have made it since then and added their own veggies and ideas and loved it.

I only used a can of green beans but next time I will absolutely be adding more veggies such as broccoli, a few carrots too even a can of cream of mushroom soup would be epic! Do check out the recipe below and let me know what you think and what changes you made for your family!
