Ingredients:

1 lb ground beef or turkey

1 medium onion, diced

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 bell pepper, diced (optional)

1 cup frozen mixed vegetables

1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup

½ cup sour cream

1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

1 tsp dried parsley

Salt and pepper to taste

1 (32 oz) bag frozen tater tots

1–1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Brown meat, drain fat.

Sauté onion, garlic, and pepper until soft (~5 min).

Stir in veggies, soup, sour cream, Worcestershire, parsley, salt, and pepper; cook 2–3 min.

Spread mixture in 9×13″ pan.

Arrange tater tots in a single layer on top.

For extra crisp crust, broil briefly after cheese melts. Prep filling ahead for a fast reheat.
