Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef (85% lean)
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
  • 1 bag (16 oz) frozen tater tots
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Method
 

  1. Brown the ground beef, onion, and garlic in a skillet over medium-high heat. Drain excess fat.
  2. Combine the beef mixture with cream of chicken soup, frozen vegetables, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper in a 6-quart slow cooker.
  3. Arrange frozen tater tots in a single layer on top.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
  5. Sprinkle cheese over the top, cover until melted, and serve.

Notes

The tater tots on the bottom will soften as they cook; for a crispier top, broil for 2-3 minutes after the cheese melts (if your insert is oven-safe).
