Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 large onion diced
- 2 cans cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup corn
- 1 cup peas and carrots mixed vegetables
- 1 package tater tots
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Sauté diced onion and ground beef in a skillet until beef is cooked and onions are translucent.
- Grease a 9×13 baking dish and spread the cooked beef and onion mixture evenly.
- Layer corn and mixed vegetables on top of the beef.
- Spread cream of mushroom soup over the vegetables (mix if preferred).
- Arrange tater tots evenly in straight lines on top.
- Sprinkle cheddar cheese over the tater tots if using.
- Bake for about 40-45 minutes until tater tots are golden and cheese is melted.
Notes
Add garlic powder or Worcestershire sauce to the beef mixture for extra flavor depth
Assemble the hotdish a day ahead without the tater tots and cheese, then add them before baking for convenience
Substitute ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version
Frozen mixed vegetables can be used instead of separate corn and peas/carrots
For extra creaminess, add a dollop of sour cream to the soup mixture before spreading
Let the hotdish rest for 5-10 minutes after baking for easier serving and to prevent burns
