2 pounds Frozen tater tots These provide a crispy texture.
1 pound Ground beef Can substitute with ground turkey or chicken.
1 medium Onion, diced Adds depth and sweetness.
2 cloves Garlic, minced Enhances overall flavor.
1 can (10.5 ounces) Cream of mushroom soup Can substitute with cream of chicken soup.
1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese Creates a gooey texture.
1 cup Frozen mixed vegetables A mix of peas, carrots, and corn.
1 teaspoon Salt Enhances overall flavor.
1/2 teaspoon Black pepper Adds a subtle kick.
1 teaspoon Garlic powder Enhances garlic flavor.
1 teaspoon Onion powder Intensifies onion flavor.
1 teaspoon Paprika Adds smokiness and color.

Prepare your ingredients by dicing the onion and mincing the garlic.
In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess grease.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.
In a large bowl, combine the beef mixture with the cream of mushroom soup, frozen mixed vegetables, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Stir well.
Spread half of the tater tots in the bottom of the Crock Pot.
Pour the beef and vegetable mixture over the tater tots, spreading it evenly.
Top with the remaining tater tots in a single layer.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top layer of tater tots.
Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours or high for 2-3 hours until tater tots are golden brown and filling is bubbly.
Let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Customize with different meats, vegetables, or cheeses to suit your taste.
