Hamburger and Potato Skillet

I've taken the week off, Tom and I had scheduled a vacation, then decided to cancel the reservations and stay home. Tonight, for dinner, I made a Hamburger and Potato Skillet.

Hamburger and Potato Skillet

Ingredients

• 3 cups frozen mini potato nuggets (from 28-oz. bag)
• 1 lb. lean (at least 80%) ground beef
• 2 garlic cloves, minced or 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 cups frozen cut green beans (from 1-lb. bag)
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 can (10.75 oz.) condensed cream of celery soup
• 1 cup shredded American cheese (4 oz.)

Directions

1. Cook potato nuggets as directed on package.
2. Meanwhile, in 10-inch skillet, cook ground beef and garlic over medium-high heat for 5 to 7 minutes or until thoroughly cooked, stirring frequently. Drain. Add beans, milk and soup; mix well. Reduce heat to medium; cook 6 to 8 minutes or until beans are tender, stirring occasionally.
3. Add cheese; stir until melted. Top with cooked potato nuggets.

When Tom started to complain about the smell (he's extremely sensitive to garlic) while I was cooking, I started to worry about how it would turn out. It ended up good - and above all, easy. Best of all, Tom said it was good, too.
