Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 32 ounces tater tots
- 1 pound ground beef (or ground turkey)
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (e.g., peas, carrots, corn, green beans)
- 10.5 ounces cream of mushroom soup (condensed)
- 1 cup milk
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it into crumbles with a spoon. Drain any excess fat.
Stir in the salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well to evenly coat the beef.
Add the frozen mixed vegetables to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the veggies are just slightly softened.
In a medium bowl, mix the cream of mushroom soup and milk until smooth, then pour the mixture into the skillet. Stir to combine all ingredients evenly.
Transfer the mixture to a 9x13-inch casserole dish, spreading it into an even layer.
Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the filling.
Arrange the tater tots in a single layer on top of the cheese, covering the casserole dish completely.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the casserole from the oven and sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of cheddar cheese over the top. Return to the oven for 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
