Equipment

large skillet
9x13 casserole dish

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef or lamb
1 onion chopped
2 cloves garlic minced
2 carrots diced
1 cup frozen peas
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 cup beef or vegetable broth
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Salt and pepper to taste
3 cups tater tots
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Fresh parsley for garnish optional

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef or lamb until browned. Drain excess fat.
Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and diced carrots to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables are tender.
Stir in the tomato paste, frozen peas, beef or vegetable broth, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.
Transfer the meat and vegetable mixture into a baking dish. Spread it evenly.
Arrange the tater tots on top of the meat mixture in a single layer, covering it completely.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the tater tots turn golden and crispy.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the tater tots and return the dish to the oven. Bake for an additional 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired before serving.
