KIDS SPECIAL: Pizza Tot Casserole

This is a dish that our young nephew and niece love, since they will eat anything with a Tater Tot in it. A friend found this in Quick Cooking Magazine.

Ingredients:
1 pound ground beef
1 medium green pepper, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1 can (11-1/8 ounce) 10-3/4 oz tomato soup, undiluted
4½ ounce jar sliced mushrooms; drained
2 cups (8 oz) shredded mozzarella cheese
32 ounces Pkg frozen Tater Tots

Directions:
In a skillet, cook the beef, pepper and onion until meat is no longer pink; drain. Add soup and mushrooms. Transfer to a greased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in, baking dish. Top with cheese and then the potatoes. Bake, uncovered, at 400F for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Makes 6-8 servings.
