  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef or turkey
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 cups frozen Tater Tots
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • Optional: chopped green onions or parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, cook ground beef or turkey over medium heat until browned. Add diced onions and minced garlic, cooking until softened. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  2. Stir in the cream of mushroom soup, milk, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix well and simmer on low for a few minutes to blend the flavors.
  3. Transfer the meat mixture into a greased baking dish. Spread an even layer of frozen Tater Tots on top and sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
  4. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, until Tater Tots are crispy and golden and cheese is bubbly. Optional: broil for 2-3 minutes for extra crispiness.

Notes

  • For added flavor, top with chopped green onions or parsley before serving.
  • You can substitute ground chicken or turkey for beef or use plant-based proteins for a vegetarian version.
  • To make it even healthier, incorporate vegetables like spinach or bell peppers into the meat sauce.
