Fast, Easy, & Economical Meals!

I hate the rush of having to fly in the door from work, figure out something to cook for dinner, get it made as fast as possible, and then finally sit down to eat.  By the time dinner's over, it feels like the night is gone and its time for bed already!  So, I am always on the lookout for quick, easy meals to cook on work nights. 
Here's what's on the menu tonight.......even though its not a work night......

TATER TOT CASSEROLE
This is one of our family's favorites.  Definitely not on the "light" side so avoid it if you're on a diet... but otherwise, your family will love it too!

1lb. ground beef

1/4 large onion diced
1 pkg frozen tater tots
1 - can cream of mushroom soup
1/2 empty soup can of milk
1 1/2 - 2 - cups grated cheddar cheese
Salt & pepper to taste
Brown ground beef and diced onions, adding salt & pepper to taste. Drain. Pour ground beef & onion mixture into the bottom of a 9 x 13 casserole dish. In a separate bowl mix together the soup and milk. Pour the soup mixture over on top of the ground beef layer spread evenly to cover the meat mixture. Top with tater tots, sprinkle with grated cheese over the entire casserole. Bake at 350 degrees uncovered for 30 minutes or until the casserole is bubbly and cheese is completely melted.  DELISH!  Its almost like a cheeseburger and french fry casserole.  :)

What are some of your quick, cheap family favorites??
