- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 32 ounces frozen tater tots
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and diced onion together until the beef is browned and cooked through. Drain any excess grease.
Stir in the frozen mixed vegetables and cook for 2-3 minutes until they are slightly softened.
In a bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup and milk. Pour this mixture into the skillet with the beef and vegetables.
Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, then stir until everything is evenly combined.
Transfer the beef and vegetable mixture to a 9x13-inch casserole dish and spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the mixture.
Arrange the frozen tater tots in an even layer on top of the cheese, completely covering the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your comforting and easy casserole hot!
