This tater tot casserole tastes good eaten fresh.... and maybe, even better from the freezer! It's a kid favorite and there probably won't be any leftovers either!

1 lb. ground beef (or ground turkey!)
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 can (10-3/4 oz.) condensed cream of mushroom soup
1/4 cup milk
1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
1 cup shredded Cheddar Cheese
1 lb. (1/2 of 32-oz. pkg.) frozen Tater Tots

Preheat oven to 375. Brown the ground beef and saute onion together. When meat is browned, drain grease and add frozen veggies, soup and milk. Mix well. Spray nonstick spray into a 9x13 pan. Pour soup mixture into bottom of pan. Top with potatoes. Bake for 45 minutes and top with cheese last few minutes of baking. Baking time may vary slightly... make sure the potatoes are pretty much golden brown before topping with cheese. Cheese only needs a couple minutes to melt. Soup/veggie mixture should be HOT! FREEZER INSTRUCTIONS: For freezing make meal (but don't top with cheese). Include a small baggie of cheese with each meal for adding while baking. Thaw the meal in the fridge overnight and then bake at 350 covered for the first 30 minutes. Top with cheese and bake another 10 minutes UNCOVERED.
