Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 10.5 ounces Cream of mushroom soup
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 1 cup Frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 32 ounces Frozen tater tots
- Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, diced onion, and minced garlic until the beef is browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess grease if necessary.
Season the beef mixture with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir well.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the cream of mushroom soup and sour cream until well combined.
Add the frozen mixed vegetables to the skillet and stir until evenly distributed.
Spread the beef and vegetable mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the beef layer.
Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer over the cheese, covering the entire surface.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, then carefully remove the dish and sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the tater tots.
Return the casserole to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the tater tots are golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
