Ingredients

Instructions

Blanch The Green Beans:

  • Wash and trim 2 lbs. of fresh green beans. Cut the beans into halves or thirds.
  • Boil a pot of water and add the chopped green beans to it. Cook the green beans for 3 minutes in the boiling water and then place them in a bowl of ice water using a slotted spoon or spider strainer.
  • Once the beans are cooled drain them in a colander.

Brown The Hamburger:

  • Mince 6 cloves of garlic and 1 onion.
  • Heat a skillet to medium and add 2 Tbsp. olive oil. Once the oil is heated add the garlic and onions. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring often.
  • Add the ground beef to the skillet along with ¼ tsp. each kosher salt and pepper. Sauté the beef for 5-6 minutes, breaking it into pieces as it cooks. Once it has thoroughly browned place it in a bowl and set aside.

Prepare The Cream Of Mushroom Soup:

  • While the hamburger is browning chop 1 8 oz. package of mushrooms into small pieces. After the hamburger is removed from the skillet place the skillet back on the stove top. Add 1 Tbsp. of butter to the skillet.
  • Add the chopped mushrooms along with ¼ tsp. each kosher salt and pepper. Sauté the mushrooms on medium-low heat for 5-6 minutes, or until they have cooked down and softened. Place them in a separate bowl from the hamburger and set aside.
  • Place the skillet back on the stove top and add another 2 Tbsp. butter along with 3 Tbsp. gluten free flour blend (can use regular flour if not gluten free). Stir the butter and flour mixture for a few minutes until it has formed a paste.
  • Add ½ cup evaporated milk to the skillet and stir with a whisk. Add 1 cup of low-sodium chicken broth to the skillet (the mixture will look chunky at this point). Stir with a whisk for a few minutes until creamy.
  • Add 1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce, ¼ tsp. of garlic and onion powder along with another ¼ tsp. each kosher salt and pepper. Stir until creamy. Add the mushrooms back into the skillet and stir until combined.

Assemble and Bake Hotdish:

  • Heat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Place the blanched green beans and browned hamburger into a 9x13 inch baking dish. Pour the cream of mushroom soup over the top and stir until all of the ingredients are combined.
  • Arrange 1 32 oz. package of gluten free tater tots on top of the casserole.
  • Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes. The hotdish should be hot and bubbly and the tater tots golden (baking times may vary slightly).
  • Remove the pan when finished and allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Feel free to use any brand of tater tots and AP flour if gluten is not an issue for you.
