Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 medium, diced Yellow onion
• 2 cloves, minced Garlic
• 1 can (10.5 ounces) Cream of mushroom soup
• 1 cup Milk
• 2 cups Frozen mixed vegetables
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
• 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). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set it aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the onion softens and becomes translucent.

Step 4

Drain any excess grease from the skillet and return it to the stove. Stir in the cream of mushroom soup and milk until fully combined and heated through.

Step 5

Add the frozen mixed vegetables, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning to the skillet. Stir well to evenly distribute the vegetables and seasonings.

Step 6

Transfer the beef mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out in an even layer.

Step 7

Sprinkle 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the beef mixture.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 30-35 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 cheddar cheese over the tater tots. Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.

Step 11

Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
