This Easy Shepherd's Pie Tater Tot Casserole is a delightful twist on a classic, featuring ground beef, vegetables, and delectable tater tots for a family-friendly dinner.
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat.
Add chopped onion and carrots to the skillet, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the tomato paste, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Let it simmer for 5 minutes.
Add peas and corn, heating them through.
Transfer the mixture to a 9x13 inch baking dish. Top evenly with frozen tater tots.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Then, sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese and bake for another 10 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
Notes
For a creamier texture, you can add a layer of cream of mushroom soup before adding the tater tots.
