Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 medium, diced Yellow onion
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) Cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup Milk
- 2 cups Frozen mixed vegetables
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
- 2 cups, shredded Cheddar cheese
- 1 bag (32 ounces) Frozen tater tots
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set it aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the onion softens and becomes translucent.
Drain any excess grease from the skillet and return it to the stove. Stir in the cream of mushroom soup and milk until fully combined and heated through.
Add the frozen mixed vegetables, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning to the skillet. Stir well to evenly distribute the vegetables and seasonings.
Transfer the beef mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out in an even layer.
Sprinkle 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the beef mixture.
Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer on top of the cheese layer, covering the entire surface.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden and crispy.
Remove the casserole from the oven and sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of cheddar cheese over the tater tots. Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.
Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
