Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, green beans)
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 32 ounces frozen tater tots
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with nonstick spray.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the ground beef. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and fragrant.
Stir in the frozen mixed vegetables and cook for 2-3 minutes to combine.
In a large bowl, mix together the cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, milk, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and dried thyme until smooth.
Pour the soup mixture over the beef and vegetable mixture in the skillet. Stir to combine, then transfer the mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out into an even layer.
Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer over the top of the casserole mixture, fully covering the surface.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, until the tater tots are golden and crispy.
Remove the casserole from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the tater tots.
Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let the Tater Tot Hot Dish cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
