Tater Tot Casserole

1 pound lean ground chuck
Salt and pepper
1 to 2 cloves garlic, minced
1 can cream of chicken soup
Frozen Tater Tots
Shredded Cheddar cheese

Brown the meat in a skillet with seasonings and garlic and drain. Transfer to a medium-size glass casserole. Spoon the soup over the top of meat. Lay frozen Tater Tots over the entire top of casserole. Cover with foil and bake for approximately 25 minutes at 375 degrees F. Remove foil and top with cheese. Bake 5 to 10 minutes.

You may add chopped green chiles to this, if desired. Also, you can add chopped onion if you wish. It is also good with either cream of celery or cream of mushroom soup. The recipe can be doubled easily.
