HEARTY MEATLESS TATER TOT CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Rinse and drain the beans.
• Steam the green beans (if using frozen). Rinse and drain them if using canned. Just wash if using fresh. 2 cups is an estimate; I think I had a little over 2 cups because I wanted to use up the rest of a bag I had in the freezer. If you're making the large dish, I guess it'd be 3 cups?.
• If you're putting veggie burger in this, cook it in the skillet til nice and crispy. Chop into pieces. 2 patties would work for the small dish version, 4 for the large dish.
• Combine the two different soups together. Use half of the mixture if you're doing the loaf dish way, use the whole thing if using the 13 x 9 casserole dish.
• Combine the beans and veggie burger together, and mix with the soup mixture. Put the mixture in the bottom of the ungreased baking dish.
• Layer the green beans over the cream soup/beans/veggie burger bits.
• Layer all the cheese on next.
• Figure out how many tater tots you need-- you have to adjust the amount depending on the dish size. I used about 1/3 of a 32-oz bag of frozen tots for my loaf dish version-- you might use a little over 1/2 the bag for the 13 x 9 version.
• Microwave the tots for 2 minutes-- or depending on your microwave strength, until they're defrosted but not "eating level" of warm.
• Layer the tots on the dish.
• If you like, top with some seasoned salt.
• Bake at 350 for 25-40 minutes, until golden brown on top.
• Let cool for about 10 minutes, then serve and enjoy.
