6 steps Oven 425°F 10 min prep · 35 min cook

Prep

Step 1. Heat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Set out a large baking dish.

Cook

Step 2. Heat Olive Oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add Ground Beef and cook, breaking it up, until browned and no longer pink, about 6 minutes.
Step 3. Add Onion, Mushroom, Salt, and Black Pepper. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables soften and the mushroom liquid evaporates, about 6 minutes.
Step 4. Stir in All-Purpose Flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually stir in Milk and Worcestershire Sauce; simmer until the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes. Stir in Green Beans and transfer to the baking dish.
Step 5. Arrange Tater Tots in a single layer over the filling. Bake until golden and crisp and the filling bubbles at the edges, about 20 minutes.
Step 6. Sprinkle Cheddar Cheese over the tots and bake until melted, about 3 minutes. Let stand briefly before serving.
