All crock pot dinners don’t have to be stews, soups, and pot roasts. Traditional baked casseroles can also be done in the crock pot! And you don’t have to babysit the oven and there’s no need to make sure you didn’t burn the top. This one is just a spin on the cheesy tater tot and beef casserole dish. Not the healthiest meal in the world, but honestly, it’s not horrible either. This is still better than ordering a pizza or picking up take-out.

Ingredients:

(1) lb of ground beef
(1) can of cream of mushroom
(16 oz) bag of frozen vegetable mix
(32 oz) bag of frozen tater tots
(1) cup of shredded cheddar cheese
Salt & Pepper to season
Pam cooking spray

Directions

1) On the stove top, brown the beef and get it crumbled up. It doesn’t have to be fully cooked… browned on the outside and into small pieces.

2) After the meat is ready to go, in the crockpot – Spray the bottom with cooking spray.

3) Spread about 1/3 to 1/2 of the tater tots at the bottom of the crock pot.

4) Place the beef, cream of mushroom, frozen veggies and about 1/2 – 3/4 of the cheese on top of the tater tots and mix it all up. Also, add in salt and pepper to taste (amount to your liking).
