🔪 Instructions

- Add seasoning (salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder), Worcestershire sauce, and frozen mixed vegetables. *Preferably the mixed vegetables have been thawed or rinsed with warm water. If still completely frozen, you may need to cook longer.
- Add drained, browned ground beef and stir all of the casserole filling ingredients together.
- Top with a generous layer of tater tots then sprinkle cheese and parsley over the tater tots.

This tasty casserole is a great stand-alone meal or you can serve some tender biscuits or crusty bread on the side. It's also just as wonderful served after a big helping of caesar salad!
