Got can opener?

I didn't until today. Okay, so that's not completely accurate - I HAD 2 of them. I had one of those cool "as seen on TV" just press the button and it opens itself deal - well it began to die. The first time it died mid-way through opening a can, which I had to pry it off - I thought the batteries had just died. So the second time I tried it with brand new batteries, it dies again half way around a can - I beat it off the can in using the sink as my tool - calling it several expletives and finally it meeting it's fate to the garbage can.

The second one - a manual hand cranker. Finally decided it was too dull to open another can. It too met it's fate in the garbage can.

So today I go to make dinner - alas I need a can opener to open 3 cans. Did I remember to get one on the 300th trip to Walmart or Target this week - NO! So off I got to Target - wedding gift card in hand. I came home with this little gem.
It's wonderful!!!!!!!! It actually opens cans like a can opener should. So anyhow - here's what I was trying to make when Viva La Can Opener Revolution started. It's super yummy!

Tater Tot Casserole

1 lb. Ground Beef
1 Onion - chopped
1 can Cream of Mushroom Soup
2 cans French Cut Green Beans
1-2 cups French's Onions
2 cups Shredded Cheddar Blend Cheese
1 can milk
Tater Tots - enough to cover bottom of casserole dish



Line bottom of casserole dish (roughly a 3 quart dish) with tater tots - like pictured. Brown ground meat with chopped onion - transfer to casserole dish atop tots. Drain beans and layer on top of meat. Mix soup with a can of whole milk - pour over layers in casserole. Cover with cheese - I like mine cheesy. Cover top with French's onions. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. YUM!
