Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 (32 oz) bag frozen tater rounds
  • 1 small chopped onion
  • 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
  • 1 (10.5 oz) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup milk
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
  2. In a large skillet, cook ground beef and chopped onion over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine cream of mushroom soup, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir in frozen vegetables and 1 cup of shredded cheese.
  4. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  5. Spread the cooked beef and onion mixture evenly in the bottom of the dish.
  6. Pour the soup and vegetable mixture over the beef.
  7. Arrange the tater rounds evenly on top in a single layer.
  8. Bake uncovered for 35 to 40 minutes until bubbly and golden brown on top.
  9. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup cheese over the top and bake an additional 5 minutes until melted.
  10. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use lean ground beef to avoid excess grease.
  • Broil for the last 2 minutes for extra crispiness.
  • Refrigerate leftovers up to 4 days or freeze up to 2 months.
