Ingredients
- 2 pounds (900g) ground beef (80/20)
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 medium yellow onion (diced)
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
- ½ cup (120ml) whole milk
- ½ cup (120ml) beef broth (Note 1)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup (150g) frozen mixed vegetables (corn, carrots, peas, green beans)
- 8 ounces (225g) cheddar cheese (shredded, Note 2)
- 32 ounce (900g) bag frozen tater tots
Method
- Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C and grease a 9x13 inch casserole dish with cooking spray.
- In a skillet, cook ground beef until it’s no longer pink and cooked through. Drain fat. Remove onto a plate and set aside.
- Add onion, and cook until softened (2-3 minutes), add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds – 1 minute.
- Add flour, and cook it for 30 seconds then add the milk, beef broth, and Worcestershire sauce. Whisk and cook on medium heat for 3 minutes or until the sauce has thickened.
- Stir in the beef and frozen vegetables and remove from heat.
- Layer the beef in the casserole dish, followed by the cheese, and arrange the tater tots on top in a single layer.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack, and cool for 15 minutes before serving. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or chives.
