1 lb ground beef
1 can (10.75 oz) cream of mushroom soup
1 can (14.5 oz) mixed vegetables, drained
1 bag (32 oz) frozen tater tots
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Cook the Ground Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.
Mix the Filling: Add the cream of mushroom soup, mixed vegetables, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the skillet with the beef. Stir until well combined.
Assemble the Casserole: Spread the beef mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish. Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer on top.
Bake the Casserole: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy.
Add Cheese: Remove the casserole from the oven, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the tater tots, and return to the oven. Bake for an additional 5–7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve and Enjoy: Let the casserole cool slightly before serving. Enjoy this comforting and hearty dish!
