Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of chicken soup
- 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, and green beans)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 bag (32 ounces) frozen tater tots
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or cooking spray
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into small crumbles with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the ground beef. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the onions become translucent. Drain any excess grease.
Transfer the cooked beef mixture to a slow cooker. Add the cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, frozen mixed vegetables, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Spread the mixture evenly along the bottom of the slow cooker. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the mixture.
Layer the frozen tater tots evenly over the cheese, covering the mixture completely.
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and set it to cook on HIGH for 2-3 hours or LOW for 4-5 hours. The tater tots should be heated through and slightly crispy.
During the last 15-20 minutes of cooking, sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the tater tots. Cover and allow the cheese to melt.
Once finished, turn off the slow cooker and let the casserole cool slightly. Serve warm and enjoy your comforting tater tot casserole!
