Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef or turkey until fully cooked. Drain excess fat.
Add the chopped onion and cook for about 5 minutes until soft and translucent.
Stir in the frozen mixed vegetables and cook for a few minutes until heated through.
Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and add cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Mix everything until well combined.
Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Arrange the frozen tater tots evenly on top.
Bake uncovered for about 45 minutes, until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy.
Let the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Ground turkey can be used for a lighter version.

Frozen vegetables can be added straight from the freezer.

Broil briefly at the end for extra crispy tater tots.

Reheats best in the oven to maintain texture.
