Brown the Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef and chopped onion. Drain any excess fat for a leaner casserole.
Add the Veggies: Stir in the frozen mixed vegetables and cook until they are heated through, creating a colorful and nutritious filling.
Creamy Base: In a separate bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, milk, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. This mixture forms the creamy base of your casserole.
Combine and Layer: Add the creamy mixture to the beef and vegetable mixture, stirring until well combined. Spread this mixture evenly in a greased baking dish.
Tater Tot Topping: Arrange the tater tots in a single layer over the creamy mixture, creating a satisfyingly crunchy topping.
Bake to Perfection: Bake the casserole in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy.
Cheese It Up: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the tater tots during the last 5 minutes of baking. Let the cheese melt and turn bubbly.
Serve and Enjoy: Your Tater Tot Casserole is ready to be served! Scoop out portions and revel in the delightful combination of flavors and textures.
