Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. In a large skillet, cook 1 pound of ground beef over medium heat until browned and crumbled. Drain any excess fat, then add 1 chopped onion and cook until softened about 5 minutes. Stir in 2 minced garlic cloves and cook for another minute.

Next, add 1 can (10.5 ounces) of condensed cream of mushroom soup, 1 cup of sour cream, and 1 cup of frozen mixed vegetables (like peas, carrots, and corn) to the skillet. Season with salt, pepper, and 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce. Stir everything together until well combined and heated through.

Spread the beef mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish. Top with 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, spreading it out evenly. Arrange a layer of frozen tater tots on top of the cheese, covering the entire surface.

Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, until the tater tots are crispy and golden brown, and the casserole is hot and bubbly.

Let the Tater Tot Casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy the perfect blend of savory beef, creamy sauce, melted cheese, and crispy tater tots, a dish that’s sure to become a family favorite!
