Spray the bottom of a crockpot with nonstick cooking spray. Arrange half of the frozen tater tots in the crockpot.
In a skillet, cook ground beef and onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook until the beef is no longer pink. Drain grease and add the meat to a mixing bowl.
To the same bowl, add milk, condensed soup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, frozen mixed vegetables, and half of the cheddar cheese. Give everything a mix.
Add the mixture to the crockpot, and layer over the tater tots. Then sprinkle on the remaining cheese, and top with the rest of the tater tots.
Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours, or on low for 6-8 hours.
- Feel free to sprinkle with even more cheese before serving
- Instead of frozen mixed veggies, you can make this with frozen green beans, frozen peas, or any blend of frozen veggies you like!
- This recipe also works with canned vegetables or fresh chopped veggies.
- Ground turkey or any other type of ground meat can be used in place of beef.
- Tasty additions to this dish can include cooked bacon, tangy sour cream, a can of Rotel, or sauteed mushrooms. Have fun making this recipe your own!
- Avoid opening the lid while the casserole is cooking. There's really no reason to, and you'll be letting out heat, causing the dish to need more time to cook.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
