Ingredients
  

Beef Mixture
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 small onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 cups Alfredo sauce
  • 1/2 tsp salt or to taste
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper or to taste
Topping
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese or Italian blend
  • 1 bag frozen tater tots about 32 oz
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped, optional

Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • 9x13 inch baking dish

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with chopped onion until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Drain excess grease.
  3. Stir in the Alfredo sauce and let the mixture simmer gently for 3 to 4 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  4. Spread the creamy beef mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  5. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the beef layer.
  6. Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer over the cheese.
  7. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden and crispy and the edges are bubbling.
  8. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

You can add steamed broccoli or peas to the beef mixture for extra vegetables. Swap mozzarella for cheddar for a sharper flavor, or use ground turkey instead of beef. For best results when freezing, assemble the casserole without baking, wrap tightly, and freeze up to 2 months.
