Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 pound ground beef 85/15 lean
  • 1 medium yellow onion diced
  • 2 clove garlic minced
  • 2 cup frozen mixed vegetables
  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup 10.5 oz can
  • 0.5 cup milk whole or 2%
  • 0.5 cup sour cream
  • 1.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese reserve 1/2 cup for topping if desired
  • 24 ounce frozen tater tots about one 24 oz bag
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef with the diced onion and minced garlic until the beef is no longer pink, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
  • Stir the frozen mixed vegetables into the cooked beef. Add the cream of mushroom soup, milk and sour cream; mix until combined and heated through. Season with salt and black pepper.
  • Fold in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese into the beef mixture, then spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  • Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer over the beef mixture. Sprinkle the reserved 1/2 cup cheddar cheese over the tater tots if using.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden brown and the hotdish is bubbling around the edges.
  • Let the hotdish rest for 5 minutes before serving. Spoon onto plates and enjoy warm.

Notes

For a lighter version, substitute ground turkey and use reduced-fat cheese and condensed soup. Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for 3 days and reheat in the oven for best texture.
