Ingredients

• 1/2 lb ground beef, 85/15
• 6 oz frozen tater tots
• 1 1/2 oz shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 6 oz frozen cut green beans
• 4 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 1 tbsp salted butter
• 1 1/2 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup whole milk
• 1/2 cup beef broth
• 1/2 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 tsp dried thyme
• 1.5 tsp each kosher salt and black pepper

Method (tap to check — screen stays awake)

1. Heat oven to 425F.
2. Brown the beef in the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat for 6 minutes, breaking it up, until no pink remains, then spoon off the excess fat.
3. Add the onion and mushrooms and cook 8 minutes until the mushrooms have given up their water and the pan is sizzling dry again.
4. Push the meat aside, melt the butter, whisk in the flour, and cook one minute until the paste smells nutty rather than raw.
5. Pour in the milk and broth in stages, whisking, and simmer 4 minutes until the sauce is thick enough to hold a line drawn with a spoon.
6. Stir in the green beans, thyme, salt, and pepper, then level the surface.
7. Shingle the tater tots across the top in tight rows and bake 22 to 25 minutes until they are crisp and deep golden.
8. Scatter the cheddar over the tots and return the pan for 3 minutes until the cheese melts, then let it settle 5 minutes before scooping.
