Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 cups tater tots
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked (about 5-7 minutes). Drain excess fat if necessary.
While the beef is cooking, finely dice the onion.
Add the diced onion to the skillet with the cooked beef and sauté for 2-3 minutes until it softens.
Stir in the frozen mixed vegetables, cream of mushroom soup, and sour cream. Mix well to combine.
Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Stir and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Transfer the mixture to a 9x13 inch baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the beef and vegetable mixture.
Arrange the tater tots in a single layer on top of the cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy on top.
Remove from the oven and let it sit for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy this quick, delicious comfort dish with family or friends!
