Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 Yellow onion, diced
• 2 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
• 1 can (10.5 ounces) Cream of mushroom soup
• 0.5 cups Sour cream
• 2 cups Frozen mixed vegetables
• 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 bag (32 ounces) Frozen tater tots
• 1 as needed Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it up into crumbles, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

Step 4

Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir well to combine and remove from heat.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, and frozen mixed vegetables. Mix until smooth.

Step 6

Add the cooked ground beef mixture to the bowl and stir to thoroughly combine. Spread this mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.

Step 7

Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the beef and vegetable layer.

Step 8

Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer on top of the cheese, ensuring the surface is completely covered.

Step 9

Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden and crispy.

Step 10

Remove the casserole from the oven and sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top. Return it to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted.

Step 11

Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious Tater Tots Casserole!
