Beef, Potato and Green Bean Casserole

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 can cream of celery soup
• 1 white onion, chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1/3 cup half-and-half (or cream)
• 1 pound frozen tater tots
• 1/2 pound green beans, trimmed and halved
• 1 can fried onions (optional)

Instructions

1. Spray pan with cooking spray. Get the pan hot over medium heat. Add the beef. Add in the chopped onions. Cook the beef with the chopped onions over medium heat until the beef has browned; drain. Pour the soup and half-and-half over the beef; stir until well-mixed. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Lightly grease your slow cooker. Layer the tator tots. Then add in the green beans. Pour the soup-and-beef mixture over the top, ensuring that the vegetables are completely covered. If you loved fried onions, you can also add them over the beef mixture now.
3. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours. It should look golden brown on top. Serve with a sprinkling of fried onions on top.

Tip: Add another veggie element by mixing chopped carrots with the green beans and tater tots.
