Instructions
- Warm your oven to precisely 350°F and prepare a 9×13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Brown 1 pound ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking meat into small crumbles until no pink remains.
- Add 1 diced onion, 1 diced green bell pepper, and 8 ounces sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until vegetables soften.
- Mix 1 can cream of mushroom soup and 1 cup beef broth into the meat mixture. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon garlic powder and 1 teaspoon black pepper throughout.
- Transfer the entire skillet contents into your prepared baking dish, spreading evenly across the bottom.
- Arrange 1 package frozen tater tots in a single layer across the meat mixture, covering the entire surface.
- Distribute 1 cup provolone cheese and 1 cup cheddar cheese evenly over the tater tots.
- Slide the casserole into the preheated oven and bake for exactly 35 minutes until cheese turns golden and bubbly.
- Remove from oven and let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow flavors to settle.
Notes
- Swap ground beef for ground turkey or plant-based crumbles to make this dish lighter and more diet-friendly.
- Drain excess fat after cooking beef to keep the casserole from becoming too greasy.
- Use frozen tater tots straight from the bag for maximum crispness and no need to defrost.
- For a low-carb version, replace tater tots with cauliflower or zucchini slices to reduce total carbohydrates.
