Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds lean ground beef
  • 4 ounces mushrooms (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • pinch smoked paprika
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup milk or beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
  • 7 cups frozen tater tots
  • ¼ cup shredded Parmesan or cheddar cheese (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400–425°F (200–220°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef with mushrooms (if using) and seasonings until the beef is no longer pink. Drain excess fat.
  • Stir in softened cream cheese and milk (or beef broth). Mix until smooth. If desired, add cornstarch to thicken the sauce.
  • Spread the beef mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  • Arrange the frozen tater tots on top of the beef mixture, spreading them out evenly.
  • Bake for 25–35 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden and crispy. For extra crispness, rotate the dish halfway through baking.
  • Optional: Sprinkle shredded cheese over the top and bake for 1–2 more minutes until the cheese melts.
  • Let sit for a few minutes before serving.
