This is the quintessential Midwest meal. Tater tots, veggies, ground beef and cream of mushroom soup...because cream of mushroom soup is the basis of every good hot dish!
¼CupChopped Dried Onions - Or about ½ of a small white onion, chopped
2Boxes/CansCondensed Cream of Mushroom Soup
1Bag (about 12 ounces)Frozen Corn (or veggie of your choice)
1Bag (about 12 ounces)Frozen Peas (or veggie of your choice)
1Standard BagTater Tots - Ore-Ida is a great brand that is also labeled gluten-free
Salt and Pepper - For seasoning the ground beef
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350° Fahrenheit.
Brown the ground beef, onions, and a dash each of salt and pepper on the stovetop until the meat is cooked thoroughly.
Drain the grease and layer the meat in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Over the top of the meat, layer the peas and corn (keep it frozen).
Pour the soup over the layer of the peas and corn. Spread out evenly over the veggies.
Layer the entire bag of tater tots over the top of the soup layer. Some people like to meticulously line up the tots, but I like to let them fall where they may as long as they are covering the entire dish!
Place into the pre-heated oven and cook uncovered for 45 minutes. The edges will be bubbly and the tater tots will be golden brown and crunchy. Serve immediately. Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
