Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of mushroom soup
• 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of celery soup
• 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 32 ounces frozen tater tots
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Drain any excess grease and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the cream of mushroom soup, cream of celery soup, milk, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.

Step 5

Add the frozen mixed vegetables and cooked ground beef to the skillet. Stir together until evenly coated with the creamy mixture.

Step 6

Pour the beef and vegetable mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 7

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the mixture.

Step 8

Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer on top of the cheese.

Step 9

Brush the tater tots lightly with melted butter to help them crisp up during baking.

Step 10

Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden brown and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 12

Serve warm, garnished with chopped parsley if desired, and enjoy!
