Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of mushroom soup
- 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 bag (32 ounces) frozen tater tots
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Finely dice the yellow onion and mince the garlic.
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until fully browned, about 6-8 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.
Drain any excess grease from the skillet, then stir in the cream of mushroom soup and frozen mixed vegetables. Mix well to combine, then remove from heat.
Transfer the beef mixture to a 9x13-inch casserole dish and spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese over the beef mixture.
Layer the frozen tater tots on top of the cheese in a single, even layer.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden and crispy.
Remove the casserole from the oven, sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese over the tater tots, and return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
Allow the casserole to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
