Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 medium, diced Yellow onion
- 2 minced Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 10.5-ounce can Cream of mushroom soup
- 2 cups Frozen mixed vegetables
- 1.5 cups, divided Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 2-pound bag Frozen tater tots
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
- 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onion is soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Season the beef mixture with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir well to combine.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the cream of mushroom soup. Mix until fully incorporated, then stir in the frozen mixed vegetables. Remove from heat.
Spread the beef and vegetable mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the beef mixture.
Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer over the cheese, covering the entire surface of the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the casserole from the oven and carefully sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of cheddar cheese over the top. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.
Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
