Ingredients

  • pounds lean ground beef
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 10 oz can cream of celery soup
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
  • 4 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 16 ounces frozen tater tots or enough to cover the dish

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees and spray casserole dish with non stick spray
  • Cook ground beef in a large skillet over medium high heat until no longer pink. If not using lean beef, drain the fat.
  • Season the meat with salt, garlic powder, onion powder and pepper and stir in Worcestershire sauce
  • Stir in cream of celery soup, milk and sour cream
  • Remove from heat, and stir in mixed veggies
  • Spoon meat mixture into prepared baking dish. Top with cheese and tater tots
  • Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until heated throughout and bubbly. Broil for 2-3 minutes at the end, if desired, for crispier tots, and allow to rest for about 5 minutes before serving

Notes

Use Colby Jack or cheddar cheese or cheddar blend cheese.
You can sub Greek yogurt for the sour cream. If you don't drain the meat, you may not need to add the milk.
