Ingredients

• 16 oz frozen tater tots
• 1 10.5 oz can can of cream of mushroom soup
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 12 oz frozen mixed vegetables
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 0.5 tsp salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Step 3

In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until fully browned, about 7-8 minutes. Break up the meat into crumbles as it cooks.

Step 4

Drain any excess grease from the skillet, then return the beef to the pan.

Step 5

Stir in the onion powder, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and hot sauce (if using). Mix well to coat the meat with the seasonings.

Step 6

Add the frozen mixed vegetables to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for 2-3 minutes to slightly thaw the vegetables.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the cream of mushroom soup until evenly mixed.

Step 8

Transfer the beef and vegetable mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it into an even layer.

Step 9

Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the meat mixture.

Step 10

Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer on top of the cheese, covering the dish completely.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden and crispy.

Step 12

Remove the baking dish from the oven and sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the tater tots.

Step 13

Place the dish back in the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 14

Let the dish cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your comforting and cheesy Trailer Trash Mixup!
