Beef and Vegetable Tater Tot Hotdish

There seem to be a million different ways to make a good Tater Tot Hotdish (or Caserole!) but this is how I make it in my home. A great one dish meal that includes the starch, veggies, and protein all together!

• Ready In: 50 mins
• Serves: 6-8

Ingredients

• 1  lb lean ground beef or 1  lb ground turkey
• 2  cups frozen corn
• 2  cups  frozen peas
• 1 (10 1/2ounce) can  condensed cream of celery soup
• 1 (10 1/2ounce) can  condensed cheddar cheese soup
• 1⁄2-1  onion, chopped
• 1  garlic clove, chopped
• 1  tablespoon rosemary, crushed
• 1 (16 ounce) bag  frozen tater tots
• 1  cup cheddar cheese, shredded

Directions

1. In a pan, combine ground beef, onion, garlic, and rosemary. Brown and drain any excess fat.
2. Add cream of celery soup mix to the ground beef and mix well.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine corn, peas, and cheese soup until well blended.
4. In a 16 X 9 inch pan, pour beef mixture in first, spreading evenly.
5. This is followed by the vegetable mixture as the second layer.
6. Completely cover the top with a layer of cheddar cheese.
7. Last but not least, arrange tater tots in rows for one final layer covering the entire pan.
8. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until cheese bubbles through and appears slightly brown at the edges of the pan.
9. Let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
10. Salt and pepper to taste.
