Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef or turkey
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cups frozen tater tots
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup (about 10.5 oz)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional)
- 1/2 cup milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a large skillet, cook the ground beef or turkey over medium heat until browned. Add diced onion and sauté until translucent. Season with salt and pepper. Drain excess fat and set aside.
- In a bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup with milk and shredded cheddar cheese. Whisk until smooth. Adjust seasoning if needed.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread cooked meat mixture in a greased baking dish. Pour soup mixture over the meat, then layer frozen tater tots evenly on top. Sprinkle additional cheese if desired.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until the tater tots are golden and crispy. Broil for an extra 2-3 minutes for more crunch. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
- Use crispy, frozen tater tots for optimal texture. Seasoned or gourmet varieties work well.
- Add vegetables like peas, corn, or diced bell peppers for extra nutrition.
- Swap ground beef for shredded cooked chicken or turkey for variety.
- For extra indulgence, add a layer of sour cream or gravy before baking.
