Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium, diced yellow onion
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
- 2 cups, shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 bag (32 ounces) frozen tater tots
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and diced onion, cooking until the beef is browned and the onion is softened, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant. Season the mixture with salt, pepper, and paprika, then stir to combine.
In a large bowl, mix together the cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and frozen mixed vegetables. Add the cooked ground beef mixture and mix until everything is well combined.
Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer on top of the casserole, covering the surface completely.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the tater tots.
Return the casserole to the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the tater tots are golden brown.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it sit for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your hearty and delicious tater tot casserole!
