Tools:

• oven preheated to 350 degrees
• 8 ounce ovenproof ramekin
• measuring cups and spoons
• small mixing bowl
• spoon for mixing
• butter knife
• plate or cutting board
• cookie sheet
• oven mitts
• timer if your oven doesn’t have its own.

Ingredients:

• 20 mini tater tots
• 1/4 cup semi-condensed cream of mushroom soup
• 2 Tbsp canned green beans, drained
• 3 Tbsp shredded cheddar cheese
• butter to grease ramekin

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Lightly grease the inside of the ramekin with butter.

• Set aside 6 tots and 1 Tbsp of cheese. These will be added to the ramekin last to create a crispy crust.

• Add the other 14 tots, soup, beans, and 2 Tbsp of cheese to the bowl and mix until thoroughly coated with soup.

• Pour the mixture from the bowl into the ramekin.

• Add the 6 tots that were set aside on top and sprinkle the remaining 1 Tbsp of cheese on top of everything.

• Place filled ramekin on center rack and bake uncovered until crust is golden brown, about 35-40 minutes.

• Carefully remove ramekin from oven using oven mitts. Ramekin will be very hot. Let cool slightly. Serve.

• Enjoy!

• Feel free to use slightly less or more of any ingredient to suit your preference.

• You may want to add a seasoning such as black pepper.

• Try cooked fresh green beans instead of canned, a different cream soup, or different vegetable, such as broccoli or asparagus.
