  3. In a large bowl, stir together the cream of mushroom soup, milk, soy sauce, and black pepper.
  4. Fold in the green beans and French fried onions.
  5. Spread the mixture in the prepared baking dish.
  6. Bake uncovered for 15 minutes.
Add the topping and bake

Notes

For the crispest topping, arrange the tater tots in a single layer. Refrigerate leftovers for 3 to 4 days; freezing is possible, though the tater tots may soften. For a gluten-free variation, use gluten-free condensed mushroom soup, tamari, and gluten-free tater tots.
