Preparation

  3. Stir in the cream of mushroom soup and mixed vegetables until well combined. Remove from heat.
Assembly
  1. In a 9x13-inch baking dish, spread the beef mixture evenly.
  2. Top with shredded cheese if you want an extra layer of flavor.
  3. Evenly distribute the frozen tater tots over the top of the casserole.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy.
  2. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. This casserole can be frozen for about two months. When reheating, cover with foil and heat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes.
