Cheesy Tater Tot Beef Casserole Delight

Ingredients

- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 package (32 ounces) tater tots
- 1 package (12 ounces) frozen vegetable medley (carrots, peas, corn, and green beans)
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or Mexican blend cheese

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Allow it to fully preheat while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.

2. Cook Beef and Onions: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef and onions. Cook until the beef is browned and the onions are translucent, about 8 minutes. Drain the excess fat from the skillet.

3. Mix the Soup and Milk: In a medium bowl, mix together the condensed cream of mushroom soup and milk until smooth and well combined.

4. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked ground beef and onions, frozen vegetable medley, soup and milk mixture, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Stir until everything is evenly coated.

5. Assemble the Casserole: Pour the beef and vegetable mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly. Top with an even layer of tater tots, lined neatly.

6. Bake in Oven: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy.

7. Add Cheese: Remove the casserole from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, until the cheese has melted and is bubbly.

8. Serve and Enjoy: Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before serving. Cut into portions and enjoy your hearty dinner masterpiece!
