Equipment

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1 cup sweet onion diced
1 green bell pepper seeded & diced
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1 cup beef broth
1 brown gravy packet 0.87 ounces
3 cups mozzarella cheese
28 ounces frozen tater tots
Fresh chopped parsley for garnish.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425F.
In a large skillet over medium high heat, add the butter and ground beef.
Cook until beef is almost done. Stir in the onions, bell pepper, and mushrooms.
Cook until the onions and peppers are softened.
Stir in the beef broth and gravy packet.
Pour into a greased 9x13 baking dish.
Top with cheese.
Layer the top with tater tots.
Bake at 42F for 30 minutes or until bubbly, the cheese is melted, and the tater tots are crispy and golden brown.
Remove from the oven.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and enjoy.

Notes

Brown the ground beef in a medium nonstick skillet and drain well. Be sure to season it while cooking.
Like more onion flavor, add a sprinkle of onion powder.
Try a dash of Worcestershire sauce for some kick.
Cook the vegetables until crisp tender. They will continue to cook when you bake it.
Don't have mushrooms? Substitute cream of mushroom soup.
Make it creamier by adding cream cheese or sour cream.
Replace the mozzarella cheese with provolone cheese slices.
Don't overcook it. Bake until bubbly and the cheese is melted. If it starts to brown too soon, cover with foil.
Let it rest before serving. This will help the juices distribute and make it easier to serve.
Garnish with fresh herbs for more color.
Serve it with a side salad or crusty bread.
