Description
A simple, creamy ground beef and vegetable casserole topped with crispy tater tots. This is a straightforward recipe for a family dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas and carrots)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 bag (about 32 ounces) frozen tater tots
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Drain any excess fat.
- In a large bowl, mix the cooked ground beef, cream of mushroom soup, milk, chopped onion, frozen mixed vegetables, salt, and pepper. Stir until combined.
- Spread the meat mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
- Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer over the meat mixture.
- Bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the tater tots.
- Return to the oven and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the tots are golden brown.
Notes
- For crispier tots, bake the casserole with just the meat mixture for 20 minutes before adding the tots, then bake for 20 minutes, and add cheese for the final 10 minutes.
- You can substitute cream of chicken soup for cream of mushroom soup.
- Use 1/2 cup of sour cream mixed with the soup for a richer flavor.
