Start by browning the hamburger in a skillet, breaking it into small pieces to avoid lumps.

Once the hamburger starts to brown, add 1 teaspoon of chopped garlic to infuse the flavor into the meat.

Add 1/3 cup of chopped onions to the skillet and continue to brown the meat.

Drain some of the fat from the cooked hamburger after it's browned.

Add 1 teaspoon of ground black pepper to the meat and cook for another minute.

Preheat the oven to 350°F while preparing the dish.

In an 11 by 15 baking dish, layer the browned meat at the bottom.

Rinse the green beans and layer them over the meat.

Spread the cream of mushroom soup over the green beans, ensuring even coverage.

Add the remaining green beans on top of the cream of mushroom soup.

Layer the tater tots evenly on top of the mixture, using two bags to cover the entire surface if needed.

Bake in the preheated oven at 300°F for one hour or until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy.
