1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C).

4. Combine with Green Beans and Soup:

5. Assemble the Casserole:
- Transfer the meat and vegetable mixture to a 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

6. Top with Tater Tots:
- Arrange the tater tots in a single layer over the top of the meat mixture, covering it completely.
