Beefy Tater Tot Casserole

This sounds super fancy right?

Some nice lady in Millie's ward brought this over to her shortly after Bradley was born. Michael and I were training at the time for our half, so we ran to the Anderson's house where there was still some of this hanging around. Michael started eating it and said it was amazing, so me being the good wife that I am got the recipe and made it for him last night. He laughed when he came home and asked, "What the heck is that?" having not remembered that he had previously eaten it and raved about it. It seemed that all my efforts were for not.

Turns out it was pretty dang good for being a dish with the words Tater Tots and Casserole in the title. 

Moral of the story: Don't Judge. hah. 
 Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
1 green pepper, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can Italian tomato soup – I can never find this so I use plain tomato soup and add Italian
seasoning.
1 (4 ounce) can mushrooms, sliced and drained
2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded - I’ve also used Cheddar cheese
1 (32 ounce) package frozen tater tots

I add a can of chopped Italian tomatoes or stewed tomatoes – depends on how wet or dry you like it. (When I made it last night, I just did two cans of tomato soup because it looked super dry. I also added salt and pepper, a ton of Italian seasoning, and Chalula for a kick. 

Directions:
In a skillet cook the beef peppers and onions untill beef is brown. Drain fat.
Add tomato soup, seasonings, and mushrooms; heat.
Pour into a greased 13 x 9 baking dish.
Sprinkle the cheese then potatoes over top and bake at 400 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes.
