Ingredients
  • 1 bag frozen tater tots (32 oz.)
  • 1 lb. ground beef (85% works best)
  • 1 cup onions, diced
  • 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (use your favorite vegetables or what you have on hand)
  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. pepper
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (I used sharp cheddar)
  • chopped green onions (optional)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

  2. Set your frozen vegetables out to slightly thaw.

  3. Brown your ground beef with your diced onions. Drain excess liquid.

  4. In a large bowl, mix your vegetables, soup, Worcestershire sauce, milk, and spices.

  5. In a 7×11 pan (can use a 9×13 pan, but it will be a little thin), spoon your ground beef across the bottom of the pan.

  6. Then cover with your vegetable mix.

  7. Sprinkle your cheese on top, covering the previous layers.

  8. Top with tater tots.

  9. Bake at 425 degrees for 35 minutes for 9×13 pan. The 7×11 pan will take a little more time.
