Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain grease. Add onion; cook and stir until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Meanwhile, stir together condensed soup, sour cream, and green bean liquid in a medium bowl until well combined. Set sauce aside.

Step 4

Add green beans to beef-onion mixture; mix to combine, then transfer to a casserole dish. Top with cheese slices and cover with frozen potato nuggets. Pour sauce over the top.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until potatoes are browned and sauce is bubbly, about 1 hour.
