Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef until no pink remains, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the ground beef. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the onion is softened and translucent.
Stir in the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix until well combined.
Fold in the frozen mixed vegetables. Allow the mixture to heat through for a couple of minutes, then remove the skillet from heat.
Spread the beef and vegetable mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the beef mixture.
Layer the tater tots in a single layer over the top of the cheese, covering the entire surface of the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the casserole from the oven, sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top, and return it to the oven for another 5-7 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Allow the casserole to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
