Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt, plus more for tots
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 10.5 oz can cream of mushroom soup
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 28 oz bag frozen tater tots

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Brown the ground beef and onion in a skillet over medium-high heat until beef is no longer pink, about 6 to 8 minutes. Drain fat, then stir in garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together cream of mushroom soup, milk, sour cream, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir in the beef mixture and frozen vegetables.
  3. Spread the beef mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle shredded cheddar over the top.
  4. Arrange frozen tater tots in a single layer over the cheese. Season tots lightly with salt and pepper.
  5. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until tots are golden and filling bubbles. Let rest 5 minutes, then scoop and serve hot.

Notes

If your casserole dish is smaller or deeper, the tots may need a few extra minutes to brown on top. Check for bubbling filling and deep golden color before pulling it from the oven.
